Debut 2.0

Is the receiver a Sony STR-VX4? Lower on the wattage end. Just find some good, efficient speakers and it will sound great. Klipsch R-40M would be nice I bet if you have a limited budget. ELAC Debut 2.0 you can find good deals on Amazon.

Elac Debut 2.0. People were raving about them but to me they sounded muddled and lacking any sort of treble. Instantly hated them. On the upside, it quickly convinced my partner at the time to up the budget to a pair of Harbeth C7-iii with a Rega amp.

Amp: Denon PMA-600NE DAC: Topping E30 Speakers: Lore Reference Yamaha CD player I know I don't have the cleanest or sleakest looking setup but I think it sounds fantastic. I've been into hifi for about 5 years or so. These are my 2nd set of speakers. My first set of hifi speakers was a pair of Elac

on the audio routing question, yes it's doable but the answer depends on how you get audio out of each TV.

Elac Debut 2.0's are kind of relaxed listening room fillers vs. say the UB5's which create a precise soundstage (but are harder to drive - 4 ohm speakers). From a Google comparison:

You should go with a cheaper turntable. E.g. the Fluance RT82. You should allocate roughly 50% of your budget to the speakers. (E.g. the ELAC I mentioned.) Then go with cheaper amplifier like WiiM Amp (ASR review). (At $300. Instead the WiiM Amp Pro at $380.) Then you would be at around $1600 with t
