$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.


Long story short, I sold my beloved 2-channel to reduce family debt. In about a year-ish, I’ll be in a position to rebuild with a hefty budget. I loved my Harbeth + Pass Labs combo. My REL sub died before I really got to integrate it, so opinions wanted there as well. I fully understand the diminishing margin of returns when moving into some arenas, but that’s ok, opinions are strongly encouraged.

I listen to a lot of Miles Davis/Coltrane, Radiohead, Tool, Pearl Jam, Brent Cobb. I’ve often preferred “organic” or neutral, not sure how technical that is.

Here's what I'd consider

Speakers: SF Olympica Nova 5 (~$20k)

Amplification: Moon 860Av2 (~$20k)

Preamp/Network combo: Moon 390 (~7k)..the new 791 (~$16k) could be interesting

Roon Nucleus with internal hard drive (~$2k)

If desired turntable with isolation platform (e.g. Rega P8 {~$5}  with HRS platform {$1,5k})

Speaker cables ($2k), interconnects ($2K) and power cables with power distributer ($3k) with circuit guard (Shunyata power, Nordost/Transparent/Kimber speaker cables & interconnects)

Audio rack (~$2k)

Stressless Recliner ($3k)

But that's me...
