$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.

@curtdr ,

+1 agreed ….. I have what I consider great sound for around 4K currently but all used, would be over 20k new. 
 


but…. If I had budgeted 80k for a system and it would not effect me in a negative finanancial way I would be all over it.

not me.  Even though I could, it would embarrass me to spend 80k on a sound system.  And, I already have a robust solar power system, so I don't need the $ for that, either, since that's done. 

But, that's me... other priorities...

Be a real hero spend $10k and invest the rest just in case. I could have spent 10 times what I did on my system, but the what if’s always creep into my head.

$80k of gear is going in a dedicated room with proper treatment?

Waste of money otherwise.
