What's your home sound system like? Just persuaded my wife to get rid of our 1000-year-old stereo with cassette player, CD player and AM/FM tuner. I'd like to go more streamline and wireless.
What are you guys using? Any recommendations? [Edited 3/1/14 14:14pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I recommend a good, xpensive system, better safe ($) than sorry
and don't forget the subwoofer (I want the bass and drums making the floor shake)  | |

I can't say we even have a proper one! We have computer speakers on 3 desks with subwoofers. The tvs have old stereos (like my old sony mini shelf system) to play the sound through. The kitchen one has a second hand amp from eBay and some enormous kit Vifa speakers. We can listen to CDs on the DVD player or on USB from that tv. And various iPod docks. I only ever listen to music when I work, drive or cook. My inner child is horrified. I'm the mistake you wanna make | |

How much did you guys pay for your Bose systems? And what pieces do they include? Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Mine was just for a stereo system. I was just saying that Bose hold up very well. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

The thing is I don't do a ton of listening at home these days, and I also live in a flat where crazy bumping music wouldn't fly with my neighbours. I just want a setup that sounds decent, is a bit less clunky than our old component set, and is wirelessly compatible with our various devices. [Edited 3/2/14 16:46pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

The last stereo component I bought was a receiver - and that was about eight years ago. Just to give you an illustration of how not into sound equipment I am, my current receiver replaced one my dad bought in 1974 - which I used until it died. Hell, I'm still using a turntable he got back then (though I have replaced the cartridge). We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

As much as I agree with you, I won't allow myself or my family and friends to support The beat's brand. I know too much about how they are made, how much they cost to make, and how they are ripping off consumers in order to support a lifestyle. * That is pretty much across the board with all products and the American way, but I can at least control this purchase. * That is all. | |
