Budget Hifi $500

[Rafael]

Can recommend a hi-fi system budgeted at S$500?

I'll probably need an integrated stereo amplifier, a CD player and a pair of shelf or floor speaker.

I play mainly jazzy lounge, contemporaries and live.

Info like brand, model, price and shop would be great.
If got URL even better.

Thanks.

500 only? very tight.. maybe try a pre-owned Cambridge Audio (alpha audio) Azur series.. CDP with Amplifier. floor stander? try a full range floor stander with Fostex driver. go to AhFat Audio, he can DIY for you http://www.ahfartaudio.com/about/contact.html

don't be fool by the slim floor stander. it can throw a big soundstage and can be musical. well suited for jazz and

I don't you can get an amp, speakers new or old and a source for that price...Separates will cost more, unless you buy something rather old.

You may want to take a walk into Adelphi and the other places like Audio House, Best Denki etc and look for the mini systems.

Onkyo, Marantz, Yamaha etc will have some in your budget range.
