Speakers for my new student house help!!
Hi!
First of all I’m totally ignorant about speakers so I need help finding the most titillating pair to instal in my new student home for mostly party purposes. I’m not a DJ or even remotely acquainted with playing music at a ‘high level of skill’ so I intend on simply plugging in my iPad, phone or laptop (I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone) and let spotify do its thing. I would like them to be stand-mountable as well. Furthermore, I don’t know anything about different types of sound quality, specs and the sorts, so I just want something good that could handle even the duttiest of bases and drops smoothly. I’m also on a budget so I’m not looking for anything fancy… just good speakers on a stand that I could plug my iPod into. Please DO NOT recommend iPod docks or anything of the sort! The ones I’ve had were crap and could not achieve the high volumes or impact I’m looking for.
If you don’t know any specific speakers to recommend, any other form of advice would be helpful. For example, what’s an amplifier? do I need an amplifier to connect my iPod to standing speakers? What sort of cables do I need? is Ebay a reliable source? What about Skytec? are there any specific brands worth looking at? Is it true speakers break if the sound is too loud?
Many thanks and best wishes! xoxo
