500W for $500
I challenged myself to put together a decent hifi system for my GF for $500 or less. She only uses Spotify/Audio Technica LPX60 so I know it didn't need to be anything crazy, and ended up getting all used components. Component list: -Polk Audio Monitor Series 70 mk2 Tower, $150 -Jamo C912 400w, only 1 hour of play time from first owner $150 - Dayton Audio ADA 150 100w Power amp, $99 -Cables, connectors, etc, $50
Currently sourcing it from my collection of FLAC on an Ibasso DX160 (had for many years
All items are from FB market place, with the exception of the Dayton amp from a local trade store. For $500 I think it all sounds well. Pictured above it is set up in a side room all playing together for the first time. Its great for rattling photos off the walls, but also pretty much turning the sub off and having a pretty neutral sound that will help teach her how to EQ and "find her sound". Hopefully I can have it all well placed in her living room soon! I apologize if this is flaired wrong or the wrong sub, remove if thats the case
