Hello, new member here. I found this site when doing some research on alternatives to No-Res. I'm into finding beer budget hi-fi equipment that holds its own against high dollar audiophile brands. I'm a Skeptic in the broadest sense and generally a nice person that strives to practice Humanist values. I dig Hi-Fi and listen to mainly guitar rock, AC/DC being one of my favs along with Hendrix, EVH, Page, Sky Dog, Clapton, Townshend, Winter, and SRV being notable others (the green ones I've seen live).

Have a good day and cheers!

Welcome!

Hope you've already found streaming (along with Redbook quality internet radio) as a low cost source.

Another low cost alternative to passive loudspeakers is active monitors (like the studio pros use). Kali is a good brand to start looking. Sound On Sound is a good resource for reviews. Actives (fed by low voltage sources) have sophisticated crossovers that send signals to one dedicated channel of amplification per driver for superior performance.
