Welcome!
How humble? Hard to beat active monitors and streaming your music via CD quality sources (such as Tidal or Qobuz) that have millions of albums to pick from. NAD Node ($550 streamer/DAC) with Kali LP-5 ($300/pair active 2-way monitors) would make for a killer desktop/small room system. Or move up to Kali IN-5 ($700/pair active coaxial 3-way monitors) and be done for many years.
Hello JML!
Thanks for the great recommendation.
Unfortunately, I have already started my journey, as I have some limitations. My wife doesn't like many things in the living room! So I done my research online, and concluded that naim nait nova would be the best if I was not going to buy separate amps/DACs/Streamer and others. I bought the nova first before buying the speakers.
It took me some time to listen to many different speakers, and settled with an ET LFT-8b. I was not sure the nova being 80W amp was capable to power the speaker as the recommendation was 75W and above. Since I liked the sound, I took the nova to the store to test. To me, it sounded great and paired quite well and had plenty of power.
At my mid 40's, first time buying a speaker, this is my begining. I am excited to find AC and looking forward to read, learn from you guys and also share my experiences.
Really appreciate all the kind replies.
