Al, I understand where you are coming from. I do have a digital set up with the least spent on the source, then amp, with the most on the Speakers and sub! I use it when I need a full range sound and am willing to trade certain aspects of the reproduction over others. I guess my point is that when you want the most nuanced, beautiful sound reproduction with colorful timbre and delicacy, and with all things being equal and limited by budget, then the 3/2/1 allocation brings the most reward.
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
Hello all,
I am just starting out in this HI-FI stuff and have a pretty modest budget (prospectively about 5K) for all. Any suggestions as to how funds should be distributed. At this stage, I have no interest in any analog components. Most notably, whether or not it is favorable to splurge on speakers and settle for less expensive components and upgrade later, or set a target price range and stick to it.
Thanks
