Well I am going to be buying a whole new Audio system for the new place me and my girlfriend are getting.
Lets just say I cannot decide on a decent setup, I'm not exactly a hardcore audiophile but I have a decent understanding with audio.
Anyway due to there being a girlfriend the aesthetics are very important, a lot of speakers have a unappealing generic box design which my girlfriend goes "meh".
The speakers have to available in black.
Currently I have fallen in love with the JL subwoofers specifically the Fathom f112 or maybe even f113, depends. So I would really like to keep that in the mix due to its shear power for my girlfriend (we are young, so apply the teenage stereotype
). We basically like the deep rumble.
At first I was going to get a setup like some Epic 80/600 stuff from Axoim Audio ( axiomaudio.com/epic80_600main.html# ) but I find it pretty ugly. What I'm looking for is something like this but with some sort of style that isn't just a plain rectangle box preferably, although I could make those work without problem. I don't really have any budget in mind but I would like to keep it around the price of the 5.1 setup, although variations are ok as long as its not something crazy like 15,000.
I am also wondering what kind of equipment I would need to power speakers such as these properly, I will be buying the furniture, TV, and all that based on the speakers. Most likely a typical bigscreen LCD TV.
We like video games, new movies, and regular Hip Hop/ R&B type music, and we like it to be loud when we want it to be loud, so thats important.
My current setup just consists of a Yamaha Receiver and Athena bookshelf speakers and a BIC Venturi V1220 Sub, nothing crazy but still great. Looking for a major upgrade.
Thank You for any help, HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
