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


It is more complicated in reality of high end than either/or but still we have our preferences. This is a never ending debate, so let's never end it.

There is theory and there is practicality. Linn's theory is correct, but to maximize your investment, you'd want a well matched system. There's no point in arguing for a $1000 front end and $100K speakers or vice versa. So much is based on the room.

That's the advantage of any great source component - it will work just fine in any room where there is enough space to put it in. You always have to deal with resonance control, though.

 

After 50 years in this hobby I’ve settled on the following hierarchy:
Amplifier
Source
Speakers
Cables
Room acoustics...
