Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ?

fuses first, then cables...eventually the rest of the system will fall into place. room last.

Spend full budget on Shun mook discs and Shakti stones....no speakers and sources are needed. Just start singing, dancing and tossing shakti stones around   --> quickest path to audio nirvana.

We are not interested in garbage, we are talking about excellent or better source and similar level speakers.

In many systems, the source is at least physically easier to replace than the speakers. What does that count for, if anything?
