I want to get an amp and speakers for home. I’m tired of not hearing music properly and want a good full Range. I’m not an audiophile but want to hear all of a song, in reasonable quality.
Don’t know my arse from elbow. What way should I be looking for a nice entry ish setup, do I need a sub or are floor standers enough?
You don't need a sub unless you're watching Die Hard, just get a decent pair of bookshelf speakers. Budget floorstanders often sound muddy in the mid and top ends. Given that you're mostly listening to streaming audio via bluetooth I would go for:
Monitor audio Bronze 2
Decent (ie. heavy) stands (don't skimp)
Any decent two channel hifi amp (£100+) paired with a decent bluetooth receiver (£50+) or
A Tangent Ampster (£150)

Thanks for the tips. I think I’ll go second hand on eBay as I should be able to get more for the money.
Thanks for the link of Bluetooth recover. I did wonder if there is a way to use my raspberry pi with Spotify and then connect that digitally to the amp, using my phone to control it this might give better quality. I’ll research it.

Is this the right place to ask? I want to get an amp and speakers for home. I’m tired of not hearing music properly and want a good full Range. I’m not an audiophile but want to hear all of a song, in reasonable quality.

Circa 3-500. Don’t mind second hand.

And an amp.
