Hello everyone,
I have liked good sounding stereos since I was a kid but have not had a decent set-up in years. With about 10k songs on my pc/ipod I figured upgrading the audio would be a very worthwhile investment. I just ordered a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 pro's and a little fiio E5 amplifier to do me until I've decided on a proper set up. Forgive me for being a complete noob, but I get slightly confused when people start talking about amplifiers, sound cards, pre-amps, DAC's etc. I know what most of them do, but I don't know what would suit me best. I currently have a crappy pair of logitech 2.1s that I want to replace. I was thinking, if at all possible, that I could get a more hi-fi style set up, with 2 proper speakers and a seperate active subwoofer or something.
My budget would be £150 for the speakers/sub and any sound hardware to power my headphones and the speakers. Is it even possible? I wouldn't mind buying used equipment if I needed to. The reason for the low budget is that I am also upgrading to a 27" LED monitor. However, I could set aside a small amount of money for a later upgrade if it was truly worth it. Thanks for your help.
BTW: Can I just say thank you to this forum for putting me off those beats by dre headphones. Saved me £100 there, and i've undoubtedly got a much better pair of headphones.
