I have been searching for a budget stereo system under ₹50,000 that would be comprised of a Class D mini amplifier, a pair of decent speakers and a subwoofer. Bluetooth is a good option, but I was more interested in offloading the lower frequencies onto a subwoofer and to do so, the amp should have a "High Pass filter". I can play High Resolution Lossless Audio from Apple Premium Music through my tiny Fosi DS2 DAC's headset output into the RCA inputs on the amp. Super cheap streaming. I posed the following question to all of the 5 AI apps on my mobile to see what they recommended for me to buy. " Recommend a list of budget, home use, class d amplifiers available in India, that have a high pass filter to offload bass onto a subwoofer and away from the main speakers. List price and where to buy in a format easily readable on a mobile phone." Claude AI 3.5 Sonnet I've listed five popular options available in India that meet your requirements. All these amplifie...
I have spent days researching a list of speakers to recommend to a friend of mine. His budget is less than Rs 25,000/-. He is willing to go passive or active speakers. Another friend has an amp I dearly love, Fosi Audio BT30D Pro with a 32V power brick. He drives an old pair of B&W bookshelf speakers with that and they get loud!! (I recommend the amp!) Methodology (Reference sites I checked for speakers in budget) Audiosciencereview.com Erinsaudiocorner.com Rtings.com Stereophile.com Whathifi.com I respect the top two because they use some very advanced gear to test speakers with and I find their recommendations to be based on both subjective (listening) and objective (measuring) data. I looked at 63 speakers, including ones not available in India. I ended up with a recommendation for 9 top ranked speakers. Active and Passive. All would benefit from a sub-woofer because of their somewhat diminutive sizes, but they should fill up a medium sized room very well. If you wanted to set u...
A caveat. I have spent days looking at reviews to try and assemble these systems. Trying to keep them affordable involved various comparisons. Amps SMSL is universally acknowledged to have the most bang for the buck. Very high quality internals, an enormous range of EQ adjustments and high quality amp chips. There are two that stand out. SMSL AOa200 Mk II and SMSL A300. Both output a true 85W/channel but the 300 has more features, most of which you might not use. Aiyima A70 has been crowned the best class d budget amp. Output 90W/channel. They all accept Bluetooth, but the SMSL models have the better codecs. After careful review, I recommend any of these three. All have subwoofer out connections for either active or passive subwoofers. But, and it's a biggie, the Aiyima does not have a high pass filter to offload bass signals to a subwoofer. If you do not want a sub, then no worries. I will explain in my speakers choices why you may not need one. Speakers Polk Audio offers two mod...
