suggestions

Thanks for the feedback, as mentioned not an audiophile, but i have been reading quite a bit, so i have become familiar with the brands and have read supporting opinions about "same" components, as far as my "goal", yes I would support the wilson's with whatever it takes to to get the soundstage right, i do understand that a quarter of an inch can make a difference.  I have been to several dealers, the one in Scottsdale arizona was amazing, did not realize just how much so at the time...  I am in  North Florida, guess it's time to head down to Miami.

Say what ?

OP,

Thanks for the additional info on you. Helpful. Wilson’s are capable of breathtaking 3D imaging. I have often seen Rowland paired with them.

I recommend Robert Harley’s The Complete Guide to the High End. Read Stereophile, The Absolute Sound and Maybe HiFi+. None of the other stuff… it is for mid-FI or consumer stuff.

Also, find a dealer you click with and can trust… he should spend hours with you and be able to set up and demo the sound you want. My audio dealer has been a friend for twenty years.

Consider Overture… they are in Delaware. I used to fly to the East coast… they would set up their big room for me and make an appointment. Great place.

Also join Audio Afficianado, the forum. The kind of system you are putting together is average. There are hundreds of folks and the founder has a couple dozen high end (some REALY) high end system. I think he has a location in Florida you can visit.
