Well I am in a two part fiasco. I am doing the headphone thing, and I am learning trying to prep for any upcoming sales. Most of that is out of the way.
I have now shifted a bit, I do not believe I am going with Klipsch. I am now down the Elac road. So I am trying to see what I wish to do with that. Just unfortunately getting tossed around.
I got a three part battle going on, Unifi vs Unifi 2.0 vs Adante; and yes it is going way over budget. I have a local audio shop selling the adante 5.0 set up for 4700 no tax. It's driving me a bit crazy, cause that is a road I would like to go down. Unfortunately I do not have work at this time during the pandemic situation. But that is a damn good deal.
However, with the Unifi and Adante's I am running into a more costly situation. I feel that that route is going to require seperates for the 4 ohm load and sufficient power to destroy my neighborhood. I believe the Adante's are 4 ohm, definitely not an expert.
So now the shift comes and the question which arises is it seems a safe bet would be to go with Emotiva's amp, regardless of what setup I am going with. Now second, which is probably more crucial is what processor or avr pre amp I should go with without financially crippling me.
I get the notion that whatever processor/avr preamp you get needs to have the channels to feed into the amp. But does that mean I can go with a trash avr preamp? since lower power avrs are obviously much cheaper.
Probably the most confusion I am experiencing right now. I will ask to see what people say on another threat I am going to post.
But yea that Adante is making lose sleep at night, if I had the correct equipment right now I would definitely have purchased those in a heart beat. But now an additional 2500-3000 to get optimized performance is out of my range.
So Much for a Budget. I am actually considering them because they offer financing. So the payments like that I could manage, but I cant do like 8k right now. And the consideration of so much additional costs.
Went out and demo'd those guys, in case youre wondering what was so captivating. the original Unifi and the Adantes, as the gentleman was saying for the extra cash that's a banger of a deal. The adantes are demo's.
They only got the Unifi towers, but as a demo a pair for 500... that would virtually put me back into my old price points.
I also read above what was mentioned about Ali Express and subs, I think I am going to go with Bic philharmonic 200, probably not the right name. If you fix those ports they are a great bargain for performance.
If I go with the adantes I wouldn't be getting a sub for a while for sure, but they sound amazing hands down solo
Thanks again guys, and sorry for such a late response, not sure why but I haven't received and notifications in my email from your responses. Not sure why.
Appreciate your feedback on the topics I just discussed.
