Build this $1000 Audiophile Bookshelf Stereo System

[@false_cypher]

I bought this exact setup last year. It is simply outstanding.

[@איציקדנן-ב1ר]

Hello Sir. Please your help (or, if u know someone else 2 ask 4): Is that setup/bundle may consider as a budget Hi-End setup, even as a main system (in mid-size spaces at home) ? Just 2 confront, Nowdays (since 2013) i own a 'Mistral Audio': Reg-565 floorstanders with the MM-6 hyb.int.amp with an internal usb dac, connect 2 2017 model Macbook air (with the 'Amarra Luxe' Music Software) ? Thank's a lot

[@2wcp]

Have been researching on this for weeks and this is the answer that I need - A clean setup with minimal headaches

[@eloycavazos2816]

Do more speaker, amps, and vinyl set ups!

[@joshuajones9482]

Those are great speakers, I have the UB5 slim series hooked up to a Adcom GFA 555 gen2 series by Nelson Pass(power amp) and on many occasions I literally check to make sure my sub is turned off due to the clean solid bass from these speakers. However when I do turn on my sub you can't hear it but you definitely feel the presence of other octaves in the music, that's the beauty of blending your sub with main speakers, full range sound so the illusion is more convincing.

[@aristidesmontesinos3058]

a good 2.1 audio system is good for almost everething

[@multiversalsingh]

Pls do budget audiophile stuff too. I love that someone mainstream in the tech community pays attention towards audiophile world.

[@buck000yt]

Just wanted to say thanks for recommending the Sprout 100. This video got me interested in that piece a few months ago, and it's now the power for a modest system that sounds fantastic to my old ears. All the best to you...

[@FlatSixBoosted]

Great timing on this recommendation. Was looking for this exact setup for my garage.

[@MichaelGreco]

I'm finally learning all the audiophile jargon, but Caleb always does a great job dumbing-down confusing topics. I'm all about audiophile content but sadly I don't think it generates very many views

[@mf4403]

Coaxial is a great design, I love my KEF R series

[@Pentenfi]

A few weeks back I wanted a new headset for my computer. That lead me studio - and/or HiFi - headphones. That lead me here. Now I am checking amp and speaker tests daily. Things escalated quickly....:D Anyways, thank you very much. As an absolute beginner this is exactly what I need.

[@zahitemremetin606]

So what did you end up buying with? If you're still looking for a new headset btw check out Beyerdynamic MMX 300 2nd Gen.

[@hansiangng2808]

SMSL Q5 Pro and Dali Zensor 1, perfect size for a clean and easy (non-fatigue) desktop listening experience.

[@CaBdosdos]

I use my audiophile towers as my TV speakers. 2.0 in the house! 😀 Dali Ikon 6 MK2 ❤

[@riteshdhoot7]

Thank you for the video. Try IOTAVX SA3 Integrated Amplifier with ELAC UB5 and it will blow your mind for the given price !!

[@dicmccoy]

I have the IOTAVX stack paired with my Elac BSU5's and it sounds amazing.

[@johnsweda2999]

I would say add the poweramp to that for the price you can get it 299, and Bridge the two. A better amp is the audiolab 6000a

[@garyganser2451]

Does the IOTAVZ or Emotiva TA100 sound as good as the Sprout100 (now $800) for less?

[@jackleonard2088]

Love my elacs. Good choices.

[@palashholkar]

Thanks for this setup, you should do a series of different setup on different price point like 1k, 2k , 3k etc.

[@lynnpoole7830]

There are so many other integrated amps for around the same price as the Sprout (class D Chinese) to take into consideration.

[@davidsonnow]

Care to mention a few?

[@bikdav]

I'm all set with amplifiers. The speakers grabbed my curiosity.

[@djrt]

I like the Turntable...Vinyl All Day ;-)

[@randomtube8226]

I like the sprout 100, but since im a bass head audiophile. I found the bass week lacking and not full bodied. I know that I could add a subwoofer with this system. But id rather not if I didn't have to.

[@ericdaniel323]

Is the Sprout really strong enough for those speakers? I've not listened to the UB5 (had the Debut B6 and loved it) but I've heard they need serious power to sound their best.

[@ELACElectroacusticGmbHKiel]

So great to see the ELAC Uni-Fi Bookshelf online

[@brian3506]

When do you expect an update to fix all the issues with your subwoofer apps not working under iOS13 and Android10? People have been waiting almost 2 years for a firmware update

[@romeovoid]

Hi hope you can help me. I'm a bit old school and hate fiddling with my mobile phone. Can you recommend a receiver/streamer that has Pandora built-in? I told you that I am old-school as I've not yet made the jump to Spotify :-) The Pioneer X-HM76 or 86 seems ideal, but the models are at least 5 years old and I can only find them used (or for parts) online. Much appreciated.

[@krsp420]

No product links?

[@jessiecooper8532]

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I'm looking for. Great channel!

[@vikrambhaskar7976]

those speaker inputs in the amp look a but different? what type of connector is it?

[@decaf77]

Love it, great review, thanks for covering this stuff Caleb!

[@felixlaboy1453]

Would you recommend the sprout over a IOTAVXSA3. I’m not sure what to get.

[@bizyz]

i would spend more by geting a biwirable pair of klipsch bookshelf speakers,and further swap out the turntable with an nad cd player and nad integrated amplifier.

[@krishnagupta6323]

please do more audio or hifi or home theatre stuff. pls

[@izzeystarz7578]

Hi I think I've seen this video before but just came across it again and so decided to comment since i recently got the Uni-Fi's. However, i hooked mine up to the Sonos Amp (the Sprout 100 wasn't available here in South Africa) mainly for two reasons: for the power and the minimalist look (though the Sprout 100 is slicker looking). What's your opinion regarding this match up? I didn't require a headphone input since i hooked it up to my TV and not my pc (I think this and power is the main difference between the two).

[@jikenj]

I picked up the UB5's last year & are powered by the Basx A-100 with schiits modi multi-bit Dac & Mani phono preamp. thanks again for the great reviews 🤘

[@gashoq31]

What is the model of the turntable?

[@dumindatalagala539]

what is the model of the turn table displayed in this video?

[@dumindatalagala539]

its EAT b sharp

[@RobertBorley]

More audiophile stuff please!

[@lipingzhu9365]

Hi, I sincerely invite you to come to my stereo shop. The following is the address of my shop hiendchina .com

[@camwalkersings]

I've heard that with the UB5's, you want at least 150w per channel on tap with the amp in order to get the best sound out of them. I'm considering this exact Sprout100 and UB5 combo so just curious what your opinion is? Cheers and thanks

[@builderone2469]

I bought this exact set-up a year ago and it will blow you away. Don't need the sub woofer and its the best sounding system I've heard in a long time. Great sound stage, sharp, clear and loud if you want.

[@DSupremeLounge]

Great vid. What types of racks are those behind you? Thanks

[@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120]

IOTAVX SA3/Klispch 600m done Or Emotiva-Stack plus Pioneer Fs52s This amps transformers are bigger than thay PS-Audio lol and class AB Sprout 600.00US elac 550 ?

[@matthewdavies2057]

What would a good FM receiver be for this combo?

[@bikdav]

That's a good question. Good tuners are hard to come by. For what it's worth, I have a strange feeling that over the air radio (as we know it) is eventually going away.

[@felixlaboy1453]

David Jamison Sorry but in. But I agree. I just use my old iPod and download the stations app and good to go.

[@matthewdavies2057]

@@felixlaboy1453 Hi Felix. I plan to use the reciever daily so I want to avoid batteries. Ideally I would like it to be close to the same size as the Sprout.

[@felixlaboy1453]

Matthew Davies I agree.

[@bikdav]

@@felixlaboy1453 No apologies needed. I do something like that also.

[@christopherfogarty8142]

I respect Caleb’s honestly and opinions, and I could listen to Caleb review budget audiophile gear, as well as extreme high end ‘unobtainable by the common man’ systems. Because the vintage market for good gear is exploding, I’d love to see Caleb review vintage systems of various manufacturers sand price points It may not fit exactly into the ‘Digital ‘ part of Digital trends magazine, but imo, it certainly fits in with the ‘Trends’ side of this magazine. C’mon Caleb, let’s see a review of, say, a Harman/Kardon reciever, with big Sansui speakers, and top it off with an Elam or JVC turntable! I think it’d be fun to not only see what vintage gear you put together and review, but to see how it stacks up against a ( vintage price corrected) system of today! Waahoo, go for it!🤪😉😎👍🏻

[@brentpeters]

This looks awesome! What headphone would you pair with the Sprout?

[@martinpalacios7186]

Can you make a video about Klipsch s products? it would be great

[@digitaltrends]

We did this a few years back kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpbYpaV4jbRqh5I

[@davidsonnow]

Can someone tell me the name of the turntable in this video?

[@matthewdavies2057]

How do you feel about the Elac b6.2's?

[@psajamessh848]

They're killer. UB5s are a little more refined with tighter bass, but the Sprout and B6.2s are a fantastic pairing!

[@christophertame8991]

Definitely like the audiophile "stuff"

[@gulraizkhan3881]

SIR PLEASE REVIEW NEW KEF Q SERIES SPEAKERS.

[@stefanxhunga1681]

Very good products to this site!

[@tvm2209]

Can anyone recommend me a full setup for a small 12'x12' (3.66m x 3.66m) room with 8' (2.44m) high ceiling, normal drywall and carpet floor? Used primarily for music like Pink Floyd, Classical, and 50s-80s strong female vocalists. Budget of $2,000 (£1650)

[@AlfredoHernandez-ce1mb]

Love it

[@laoilli]

No eq?

[@muzammelhaquemukul7089]

All the reviewers are praising Sprout 100.

[@dlorbieski]

Not wanting to go on the cheap...what turntable suggestion might you have if just getting back into vinyl. Thanks for sharing the other info👍

[@MichaelGreco]

I picked up aAudio-Technica AT-LP60. I think it's great for the money. Audio-Technica also has other models that cost more and if you want to step up to the $400 range it seems like pro-ject turntables are very popular

[@davidsonnow]

Can I ask why there was no links to the products mentioned in the video? You guys are running a KZbin channel right?

[@Unker_Spunkanathan]

Oh scheisse! I was thinking how to get such an awesome turntable setup for 1k😂😂😂 Just get an active from the edifier airpulse series... No more amp, esp if you don't need a phono

[@D3athW1ng]

Dope. Been looking for a recommendation like this. Speaking of recommendations ... Mani pedi time 😅 ? Just teasing 😉.

[@MrRAW1968]

PS Audio advertises the Sprout100 ELAC system on its website as a package. This will include the B6.2 but I believe they advertised is with the B5 a while ago. So to me it is more of a product placement. A good one, but that’s not the point here.

[@MJ-mq6fi]

it's cheaper now, speakers are 300 for the pair

[@claudec2588]

You're kidding? Not including the turntable. How is it a stereo system without a turntable? I've got a Transistor radio powered by a 9 Volt battery. Should I call that a stereo system?

[@peimahn]

You're great.

[@axln3725]

1000$? That doesn't even buy a decent cable set!

[@Thresher]

The UB5s are excellent speakers, but I find the cabinet ugly as hell.

[@미키찬스리]

음악을 북셀로 듣고 있으니 답답하고만

😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@swapnilbahadure3768]

Its wondrful

[@sherrylkeith6549]

Woodprix is nice for that.

[@catsbyondrepair]

CLASS D SUCKS

[@johnsweda2999]

No the sprout is not an audiophile amp overpriced for what it is as well. I would say go for the iotavx is a better amp with Poweramp, or audiolab 6000a is about the same price but way better amp by a country mile
