Help with integrating modern and vintage hifi systems
Hi all, just joined and looking for some advice before I spend any money.
Some background. I had an old 80s, silver faced Technics in the mid/late 90's running large Technics floor speakers, for DJing (1200's) and general music listening. Had to sell the lot for financial reasons. Love listening to a wide range of music, from punk and alt rock to dub, and modern electronica.
In a much better financial position now, so wanting to modestly invest in a new (for me) hifi system. I prefer buying secondhand where possible, and live in an area where there are a few decent options.
We have a Polk Audio soundbar and woofer which we might hold onto for TV and Movie watching. We also use an Apple TV for streaming shows and some music. It feels like adding a vintage amp and speakers presents some challenges.
Amp options include Plinius 2100i, Kenwood KA-405, or the more modern Audiolab 6000a. Open to other suggestions. Speakers unsure at this stage so open to recommendations.
So, how would you go about running an Apple TV through the amp for music or the soundbar for TV/movies?
The space we have is an open plan living/dining/kitchen about 50m2, but the watching/listening will be about 3-4m from the speakers. The amp/speakers need to be strog enough to fill the space though so we can listen at the dining table of in the kitchen.
What other things should I consider?
I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for your advice :)
