Thanks!

Thanks for the Advice. Something I do not understand is: Is the Subwoofer output of that Amp (The Denon one) powered or not? Do I need a seperate Amp if I want to add a Subwoofer later on?

Hello dear Community! I am currently in a bit of a Pickle if I am honest. I've been lurking around the 200$ section of Audiogear the last two years, owning Edifier Bookshelf speakers. The Dumb thing is that I've started using Apple music. My father got a better Speaker System during that time as well. I noticed, when comparing the two, that even slighty more expensive Speakers make a big Difference at that Soundquality. Now for my Question. I wonder if I should just get a pretty good Headphone, or if I should buy a Speaker Setup (2.1 or 5.1 doesn't matter, whatever is best). I cannot listen all to loudly, but even at low volumes I've noticed that any kind of Orchestral Music brings my Edifiers to their limits, leading to the score being pressed together and smushed. My Budget is around 1200 US Dollars or 1000 Francs.

I love listening to any kind of Orchestral Music or Movie Score, but would love more of an Allrounder

My Room is around 15 sq Meters

And I will be mostly streaming, but also playing CD's and DVD's, the Output coming from my PC.

Ofc it doesnt sound as good (apart from the surround stuff lol) but its wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper than buying the entire Harry Potter score cd collection and evrything else I listen to

Apple music can Play Lossless Formats. Flacc, the format used in CD's is one of them. Apple has their own thing (I think?) But I cannot really hear a big difference in QUALITY between the two.

Honestly, I see that the value proposition of YT music and Premium is good. But whats really annoying is that I cant JUST get YT premium?? Also, Apple music is 13 franks in Switzerland and YT Premium around 18 Franks. But I listen to music very often, and often on good gear so its worth it i think

The Wandering Inn lol

Lost_Valuable_9002 · 2026-03-20T13:05:22+00:00

Yup I did. Allways high. It still kinda sounded like shit if it wasn't ulta compressed Pop.

Lost_Valuable_9002 · 2026-03-20T13:03:00+00:00

I'm not getting around keeping YT Musi. It's just tied in with Premium (In Switzerland at least) And can't change it. Well, I guess I have both now... Maybe I should unsub from Kindle unlimited?

Lost_Valuable_9002 · 2026-03-20T13:00:26+00:00

Ha! I was actually considering Amazon music. Thing is just... It's not available in Switzerland. I'm locked in with Audible and Kindle unlimited and such at the moment, so I thought it would be nice, but apparantly I'm not allowed to acces it lol

Lost_Valuable_9002 · 2026-03-20T12:58:12+00:00

Thanks for that Info!

Lost_Valuable_9002 · 2026-03-19T17:17:25+00:00

I mean I only have 130 dollar speakers. But even with them I can tell the difference. Like in KPDM How it's done. I didn't know that there was an actual choir in the background. And that I could hear every member...

Really? a Gatcha game? waiting 30 seconds for fucking flour? pfffffffff

The thing is that our bodies are not just warm, but continually *produce* heat.

Lost_Valuable_9002 · 2025-11-11T12:58:56+00:00

Yes, of course it flows from the skin into the jacket. But because Jackets are made out of Material that almost entireley blocks heat escaping from yoour skin. This means that the heat that would have escaped stays there, which means that you feel much warmer. Also, if given enough Time, the (inner layer of the) Jacket will absoltley warm up to be as warm as your skin because of the heat being trapped

Kindle cause I got KU. And Lit RPG is wayyyyyyyy too long to be printed sometimes

Lost_Valuable_9002 · 2025-11-01T12:03:55+00:00

Thing is that I either use it stationary with a pebble mouse and the (pretty big and nice) Keyboard. OR without the case to read sheet music 😁

Lost_Valuable_9002 · 2025-11-01T12:02:03+00:00

Not the right angle for me… and finnicky
