Underspent on speakers relative to overall system?


I’m sure this has been discussed many times in the past, but was curious about where your systems sits in this breakdown? I am wondering if I underspent on my speakers relative to my overall system. My current, just recently completed system by percentage looks like this:

 

31% - SOURCE – PS Audio PerfectWave DirectStream DAC/BRIDGE II & Roon library management


27% - SPEAKERS – Monitor Audio Platinum PL100’s & REL Storm subwoofer

 

16% - AMPLIFICATION – PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Integrated

 

16% - POWER CONDITIONING– PS Audio Power Plant Premier & Panamax MAX® 5300-EX Power Conditioner

 

6% - CABLES - DH Labs Silver Sonic speaker cables & interconnects, and Pangea power cords


4% - CABINETRY – including AIRCOM CLOUDPLATE T7, QUIET RACK COOLING FAN SYSTEM 2U

 

Not sure if there are "standard" guidelines of ranges of how much by percentage you should spend in each category.


Look forward to your responses!


Cheers,

Sam

The speakers that I have are Michael Green Audio free resonance speakers. They sound different with their advantages and disadvantages, they also require very tight control by an amp. Replacement will not be easy.
"shadorne": not sure if you are kidding or serious (?). Still very much a newbie here.

"mofojo": how does one determine if speakers are "tube friendly"?

thanks, Sam
IMO tube friendly speakers are fairly high efficiency and have a fairly flat impedance curve. The flat impedance is more important IMO. The PL100 has lowish efficiency and lowish non flat impedance.

I'm with Erik (love the spelling---very Nordic!); as there is no correlation between price and over-all sound quality in speakers, the question cannot be answered.
