jl35--I thought it would be interesting where folks ended up and why, especially folks who had "success" or were happy with systems with less spent less on speakers than the 1/3 to 2/3 that seem to often be suggested in other threads.. There are a few "how much should I spend" questions in other threads, and, even here, a lot of recommendations to go very speaker-heavy on the budget. To me, MSRP is as good of a guideline as any for things like this---certainly it throws everything off if someone got a great deal on a used set of super-awesome mega-buck speakers from a widow who actually did sell them for a fraction of what she had been told they cost (as the joke goes). But, I guess MSRP might not work for some speakers that are on a perpetual Jos. A. Banks sale, either.
I tend to be amp-heavy on spend, except in the primary system. Odd how it worked out. Not by design, but just how things fall into place. Might be different if the situation was--I have $X and one shot to build one rig all at once--rather than building things over time and swapping things in and out.
