I'm planning to buy receiver + floorstanding loudspeakers for hi-fi (not
home cinema) purpose.


I would mostly listen to mp3's (all kinds) and radio.


I prefer quality of sound over technical possibilities.

If you're listening to MP3's and radio, you have no concept of quality
sound.

Any radio shack junk will suit.

Now scram!

Well said Bob,i wouldn't even advise him to go
to radio shack,just stick to his ****ty PC speakers.

It's extremely common. rec.audio.opinion is extremely rambunctious.

" Celestion F30

This is still a two-way speaker, although it has two bass drivers (which
only gain 5 Hz compared with the F20). So it also should be combined
with a subwoofer.
Frequency Range ( ±2dB ) 55 Hz - 20 kHz"

I have a pair of F30s; I also have the Celestion S80 powered subwoofer.

Unless you are listening at very high sound levels, you won't need the
subwoofer for music with the F30s, just boost the bass a little to
compensate for the speakers' rolloff.

With the subwoofer level set to sound OK on DVDs, I find its better to use
some bass cut for listening to quite a lot of music.

Depends on the room. My speakers are 55hz too, and go down plenty low enough
in a smaller room with no sub.

Anyway, to the Original Poster - That's quite a list, and I haven't
listened to anything on it. I do have some familiarity with some Yamaha
and Denon receivers and I've found them to be fine - in general I'd
recommend that you go for a receiver with lots of power. 100 wpc should
be just fine.

I bought Dali Concept 6. I'm very satisfied with them.

For speakers, you are going to have to listen to them yourself and see
what you like. I'd personally put as much of your budget to speakers as
you can afford. At the lower price range, I would recommend looking into
Paradigm, Axiom, NHT. For a bit more money PSB, B&W are good brands to
look into.

But, it's your system and you are the one who has to like it - do some
listening first.

Thanks. I already ordered Denon DRA-455 receiver.

Now I'm looking for the right sound card.

Croatia, and list was made based on my budget and availability of audio
components.

Unfortunatelly, here is all audio equipment at least 50% more expensive then
prices on internet.

I will probably order Denon AVR455 receiver. It is currently best buy here
in Croatia for my budget.

Well you should be thinking about a turntable and a valve amplifier then
:-)

Unfortunately, too much money for me ;-)

Wow, that was really much :-)

What is the difference between analogue receivers (Denon DRA455 and Harman
Kardon 3380) and digital receivers (all others in the same range of price,
for instance Yamaha RXV457) in quality of sound?

Since I will mostly listen to my mp3 collection is it better to buy sound
card with digital output and wire it directly into digital input of some
home cinema receiver (which generally has 'worse' sound than analogue
receiver) or to wire it into analogue receiver ?

Generally, for same price analogue receivers have more quality output than
home cinema receivers, but in my case is that so?

But I still can cancel it in 3 days, so if someone has something against
speak now ;-)
