$100K system build - % breakdown of spend

I really don't think there is a formula to follow- 

I would suggest thinking about what your most important source is- if it's vinyl, $10,000 for a table, arm, cartridge and phono preamp might be lighter than many would probably devote.

Next- speakers- got to think long and hard about going from $20,000 to $30,000 as the differences might be minuscule. 

coys21 What system at over 100k do you have list it asap!!

Speakers - $20K

Subs - $5K

Amp(s) - $20K

Preamp - $5K

TT, cartridge, arm, phono preamp - $35K

DAC - $5K

Streamer - $5K

Cables, Interconnects, Power Cords $2k

Power Cond/Regen - $0K

Isolation Products, room treatments and system rack(s) - $3K

I think you did a pretty good breakdown… but I would split the preamp / amp funds 1/2 each or more to the preamp… really important.

I completely agree with the speaker investment… I would combine the funds of sub woofer into the main speaker… or get 2… always add subs in pairs. Speaker differences in the $20K to $30+ are substantial in my opinion.

I usually spend all I possibly can on components… then over time add the other tweaks. More on the DAC…. $7.5 and if you can on streamer $7.5K (maybe used to get a really good one and you can get very vinyl quality from your streamer.

some context on where you are coming from….room size, spl, solo listener in sweet spot or ? 

IF you don’t know where you are going, any $100 k toll road will get ya..there..
