1. Speakers. Speakers are the most important component when you are first starting to build your system.
When first setting up your system, you should consider:
a) Budget.
b) Room size. Small rooms, small speakers, vice versa or somewhere in between.
c) Speaker placement. If you cannot place the speakers properly, do not expect to get good sound. Save yourself some time and money and buy a rack system from Circuit City.
d) How loud do you listen you listen to your music.
e) What type of music you listen to.
f) Aesthetics. Some speakers are big and ugly and you would not want them in your home no matter how good they sounded.
The above will dictate what Speakers you should get. You may not get the "right" speakers if your budget is too small. The speakers will then determine what amp you should buy. CD players offer the most bang for your buck so you can save here. Avoid expensive cabling.
