Great video, as always! I would select Adam T8V active monitors ($450), Ikea KNARREVIK end table pair as stands ($30), and a Bluesound Node ($500- on sale, or grab a Node 2i). I know it doesn't have a record player but I challenge anyone to put together a better sounding setup for under $1000 (NEW!!!). The T8V measures incredibly well and has enough low-end for most folks to skip a sub. And the bluesound is a great streamer.

This is a really well thought out approach to putting together a system without burning out one's bank account. Even if you aren't restricted by budget this is well worth watching. Andrew and Christi seem dedicated to making hi-fi fun, and that's exactly what it should be.

[@woodplay13]

Thank you so much for your advices from you and Kristi ❤ Im folowing you 3 years since I'm start looking for my first hi-fi system. I was renewing my apartment and with budget I have left I bought LG C1 55 oled together with Samsung q950a. Ufortunatley I need to quit buying quality hi fi system 😒 I couldn't find something what will look and sound better for roughly 2000€\2000$ what was cost of this system here in croatia. That year lgc1 was tv of year together with awarded samsung soundbar that year. I was so happy when you awarded this soundbar 3 years in row in your end of year winner videos. Now after 3 years I finaly decided to go with hi fi system which I will put in my bedroom which is around 16 square meters. I listen your advices and I see that Cambridge audio AXR 100 is your and Kristi choice. I'm just looking for hi quality sound which I will not listen high volume all the time (but I cannot promise that I will not power up time to time 😁 and put it maybe in my living room😅). I hope that its also have possibility to connect to tv via hdmi and woofer if I decide that I need some later on. For speakers I have listen Kristi's advice (sorry Andrew 😊) for Monitor audio bronze 100 g6. Because they look great specialy for my taste wallnut edition. And I beleve you and Kristi (who else??😉😉😉😀) they also sound great. Now I see on some Croatian page they are on sale for 500€ eq. 500USD. I'm not stuck now with budget and I can stretch little bit more like 1500 or 1700 if you recommended me some other speakers together with cambridge or even if you want to change cambridge for something else (this cambridge also look beautiful for me). I was also looking rottel from your recent video and doesent have fm radio and hdmi connection.. I'm streaming music from spotify and from tidal from my phone ( tidal premium hifi I have trial for 3 months and its sounds great), but I'm looking also some stream device (preamp I still don't uderstand what it does to music) which will sit in this budget or its not neccesary now I can buy it for year or so.(I was looking ONLY Nad T778 which its kinda my dream for 3500€, maybe for 10 years 😅😅😅😅😅).For me is important mainly quality speakers and amp. I'm so confused soo many options B&W, Klipsch, Dali oberon, Q acustics.....bookshelf or tower...Thank you Andrew for your time and I'm looking foward to your answer and to your and Kristi new videos ❤❤❤

As a Fluance RT82 turntable buyer...a BIG yes to the RT85 as it will save you money in the long run. The RT82 is so good that you will eventually want to invest additional money to make it even better as if you bought the RT85 (acrylic platter, better cartridge) in the first place.

It was fun! Andrew had no idea what I was going to bring for my selections! :)

[@ThePhilTorretto]

Love this…wish I’d have seen it about a year ago. Here is the system I put together that was way more than $1000: Schiit Sol turntable w/ mani phono preamp…$928 Klipsch RP-500M…$479 Reisong A10 EL34 tube amp…..$451 (with shipping from China) Total: $1,858 While I love this system and listen to it several times per week, it is almost double what you have put together. I really wanted to go old school full analog with a tube amp for this system so I guess the only thing I’d change is the turntable. If I had it to do over I think I’d go with the U-Turn Orbit Plus with the Schiit Mani Phono Pre Amp. With that the systems still would have been over $1000 coming in at $1358. Could have used that extra $500 for more LPs. 😉 Oh well…I still love my system and that’s what counts. Thoughts?

Just want to thank you for your videos. I’m putting together my first hifi system, and your videos have been invaluable.

[@neilfisher7999]

Good job you two! This is solid proof that you can put together a budget audiophile system for under a grand. I think this is what most people need to get started in this hobby, then have money to spend on buying records or paying for streaming.

[@dodpr]

Good job K & A. For mine, I will choose the Cambridge AXA35, Fluance XL8S, Arylic S50 & U turn Orbit. $1077, but you have a complete package with streaming and analog enjoyment. The AXA35 is really, really good.

I went to Cambridge Audio’s webpage, and found some of the “factory refurbished” components at reasonable prices! Purchased, a Topaz SR20 receiver, and a Topaz CD10 player, both for $350. I bought a pair of Klipsch RF82ll on sale for $460! Sounds amazing since it’s only a bedroom system. So under 1000 clams very doable!

[@glung20]

1. I have the AXR100 + Klipsch RP600M combo, love it! 2. Kristi's combos are better~ 😆😆 Great video, love it, thank you!

[@edholmwood]

You two put together some great systems. I might do it a bit different. 1. Cambridge AXR 85 $400 2. Elac Debut 2.0 B62 $288 3. A "Fanless" Mini Windows PC about $160 4. Schiit Modi $99.00 All in at $947 The PC lets you stream pretty anything i.e., audio, video, MP3, whatever. You just need to connect the PC to your existing video display. Honestly this similar to my personal set up. I usr the AXR100 (which is amazing) a Schiit Bi-Frost Multibit, ELAC Debit 2.0 F62s and other stuff. I suggested a similar system as AXR85 for friends and they love it.

Hi Andrew and Kristi, your recent videos have really great reviews and comparative analysis, hitting more budget friendly options.. I love how you mention ‘law of diminishing returns’.. this specific video was really awesome as it gave a great perspective for less than $1000..

With all the speakers, speaker wire and stands I was right around 1,000. I haven't got it all delivered yet so I don't know how it sounds.....hopefully really good. Its replacing a 9 yr old vizio 5.1 surround.

I got you beat, I bought two Polk audio Rti3 for seven dollars each at goodwill they are in decent condition, and a mini Denon receiver at a swap meet for 5 dollars, it must weigh 20 pounds, I could see a chip on the corner as if it had been dropped and I asked the guy if it worked he just smiled, I took it home opened it and found a circuit board the was popped out I pushed it in and wow have a nice system for a total of 19 bucks. sits on my large tool box at work with a custom PC I built (for work, best sound in the shop) with a Azus sound card, I just love it.

[@FrankLodato]

This is OUTSTANDING! I’ve been taking all of these components and mixing them up to fit what we need in our library. We’ve discovered the Audio Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB which we can use to enjoy vinyl whilst the children sleep (using Bluetooth connected to headphones or AirPods). We’re going Jamo towers and sub with the Andover Songbird and a Douk ST-01 amp. Just over $1k, but your guidelines helped us keep it reigned in. 😂 Y’all are awesome!!!!!

[@rjs1035]

I know this video is focused on new equipment. But digging into used equipment opens up a huge amount of opportunity as well. For example: Arcam AVR300 ($400) + Klipsch RF7i ($400) + an older cd player or turntable ($200) gives you an amazing system for a very reasonable amount.

[@shemsureshot]

This was a fun episode. For powered speakers I would go with the Klipsch the Fives, I don’t think these need a sub and you could stream via your TV or bluetooth. It’s a good all round choice and under budget 🙂 My alternative choice would be the Sonos Amp as it’s good value, has a good app for streaming and 125w per channel. This would only leave you with about 300 for speakers though, so the Kanto speakers or Jamos will be an option. If you don’t mind pushing over 1000 the Sonos Amp plays very nicely with Klipsch or Kefs (from my own experience).

[@KristiWright]

You know, I almost included those because they are HDMI ready but at the time of filming I didn't think the app had been updated. Someone said Klipsch finally came out with an update (only been waiting on it over a year) and if this is true and it works, would have been a game time decision.

[@shemsureshot]

@@KristiWright Yeah they are great sounding powered speakers, and yeah the HDMI connection is a strong selling point too. I forgot the Fives worked with the app so I’ll have to look later to see what’s new. I just had a thought though, you could add those stands you recommended with the Fives and still be in budget!

Kristi 1, Andrew 0. :-) Another speaker option at the current time: KEF Q150 on sale thru year-end for $350 (down from $600). When pairing with the Cambridge equipment, don't overlook the front panel 3.5mm port as it overcomes the volume limitation issues with smartphones/tablets. The port has a 10db boost. This opens the door for Apple/Android users to use an external dongle DAC and get excellent audio quality from Apple Music, Tidal, Qobuz, or Amazon Music. Don't want to use your current phone, then use an old phone. As always very enjoyable content.

@Kristi Wright when you brought up the Powernode, I have to say for my sub $2,000 system, I'd get the Bluesound and the Magnat Transpuls 1500s - DONE!

This video was so much fun to do!

I love when your intro music kicks in.

I really like the choices. My Kanto YU6 has blown a power supply after 3 years. I rewired the active speaker and converted it to a passive. Just can't throw these speakers out. I like them but unfortunately wouldn't recommend YU6

CDs got popular and records not so easy to find, so my old records and equipment left me about 30 years ago... But, man I really miss vinyl!!!

I went the used route...got Marantz PM6003 and CD6003 for 500 used and AT-LP120 for 250 and Boston A26 for 200 new. Sounds amazing.

In my opinion what works pretty well for budget speakers (specially towers) and subs is to search for manufacturers from your country or nearby that you may like. These things can be big and heavy, and transportation and taxes can make a significant impact at low budgets. And being local it will be easier to find good offers and a showroom to listen them before you buy.

I run the Cambridge Reciever with my LS 50 and I love it!
