I know this is a headphone forum, but I was wondering whether anyone has any solid recommendations for either a bookshelf (mini component) stereo system under $1k for the kitchen, or a recommendation for another forum that specializes in that sort of thing as this one does for headphones (and affiliated paraphernalia)... or a recommendation for a better place to post this question here at head-fi.
I thought I had my mind settled on a Pioneer Elite X-Z9, but it seems that no one sells them anymore as of a couple months ago. I really like the notes about the sound quality and the network-ability (for streaming from my computer, which shares a wall with the kitchen and I could just poke a hole thru for an ethernet cable).
I'm looking for something with great sound, a subtle, distinguished appearance, and if possible, ability to play FLACs from my computer.
EDIT: Added kitchen photo to this 1st post so anyone just jumping onto this thread will have all the info right up front (without presuming everyone will read every post, heh).
The green area is where I'm thinking to put the speakers, angled up to clear the crown moulding and have the sound bounce off the ceiling. Red arrows are the sound. Well, it was just fun making the red arrows. The receiver will go on the counter between the stove and the fridge.
Thanks.
