I’m very new to stereo systems and is in dire need of suggestions. The internet is full of conflicting information and the more I research the more confused I get. I currently use a Marantz pm8004 amp, Totem Mites Speakers, an ancient Philips cdc 915 5 disc changer and the most basic speaker cables. Listening room is not ideal (Living Room) and the sound isn’t treated very well. I’m debating whether to upgrade the CD Player first or the Speaker. Budget is $1000-$2000. I listen to mostly Jazz and other acoustic music.
CD Players choices (New or Used)::
- Marantz CD6004/5
- Martanz SA8004/5
Speaker Choices (New or Used):
- KEF LS50
- KEF R300
- Totem sttaf
- Ascend Sierra 2 (I live in Canada so the exchange rate sucks now)
Other selections are most welcomed, I’m in need of suggestions to narrow my path.
