Hi, I think I need some help here, in fact i know I do! To put it into context, i'm a guitar player and listen to huge amounts of different sorts of music, and was fairly content with my 4 year old dinky Pioneer straight out of the box system, and I know as much about the reality of proper HiFi as most know about The Phyrigian mode, perhaps even less. SWMBO in her wisdom decided that she would surprise me for the latest upcoming birthday that I choose to forget by getting me a decent HiFi outfit, so tucked away under the stairs I find yesterday the following: Marantz PM64 amp Marantz EQ40 Marantz CD65DX cd player Technics SL- QD deck and all very nice too, BUT, now here's rub number 1, the sweet lady realising all that lot needed to go in something, bought a rack on eBay yesterday, and then realised why it was a bit expensive, as it included a Yamaha DSPA2070 amp, Marantz CD52MkII and a Sony TCK590 tape deck. Now that's ok, I'll happily set one system up in the lounge and another in the study, but you'll notice rub number 2, NO speakers, as she thought that the old TV surround sound speakers that had been despatched to the loft in total disgrace would be lovely! So, knowing from my guitar playing that speakers make or break an outfit, and bearing in mind that no doubt in the fullness of time the credit card bill for the above will land in my lap some advice on which of the above to put where, and what speakers to look for on the bay would be great. The lounge should have the "better/nicer/more open" sound for a room 28 foot by 14, oblong with solid wood floors, while the study is only about 10 by 10. I had thought of spending around £150 s/h for a couple of speakers for the lounge initially, and a bit less for the study. So, after you've recovered from falling about with laughter, any advice would be most welcome on all and any fronts,
