    From scratch...

    I want to upgrade my stereo system and the options are overwhelming. This will feed music---a wide variety, from Radohead to bossanova---into two rooms approx. 24' x 14'. I'm considering the following:

    Audiosource Amp 3 or a Rotel (which?)

    NAD CD player

    Speakers: Floor or Bookshelf?

    Brand? Athena, Axiom, or JMLab speakers


    Any thoughts/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    Just a few, quick thoughts

    Amp: Rotel for sure over AudioSouce; audiophiles have nothing good to say about the latter. Or you might consider NAD C320Bee or Cambridge Azur 540A

    CD Player: NAD, or consider Cambridge Azure 540C

    Speakers: Floorstanding unless you expect to buy a subwoofer soon.

    Speaker brand: There's no substitute for listening, but of the ones you mention and if you go floor, I'd lean to JMlab Chorus 714 S, though they will be a more money than, say, Athena AS-F2.

    Many thanks!

    Thanks for the feedback. The AudioSource came to me via my research on audioreview.

    A neighborof mine just suggested RBH speaker system. What are your thoughts on that manufacturer?

    Again, thank you!
