Hi guys,
So I want to upgrade my home audio setup from what it is now which is quite dated (read TV speakers for TV, and 2 big floor speakers in the lounge for music). Without knowing much at all about this, what I'm looking for is:
- speakers for the TV (should I go for those column speakers that sit beside it or more of a surround sound setup?)
- Some sort of amplifier? that lets me play CD's, has a phone dock and maybe an mp3 input
- A record player (my records are a bit scratched from my younger years, is there a way to get around this?)
- A speaker setup for the reasonably large (~300 square feet) lounge for playing music
- Ideally this entire setup would be as unobtrusive as possible and under $500NZD (~$330USD) but this is a very rough guide as I don't really have any idea of the costs, and could probably stretch to $1000ish for something really good
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for any advice I get.
