Best set-up under $20K
Hello!
I´m starting to look for an upgrade. What would you buy with a 20k budget? (new or used)
My actual system is bw803d2 with hegel h360.
I started looking at bw802d3 with mcintosh ma8900 + streamer (?)
I mostly listen to digital (Tidal) through iphone/airplay.
Will install it in a big room (about 6mts x 10mts); listenning & dinning room.
Tks
You need a biggish room for this system and you will need to buy used to get it for around $20K but it will be astonishingly good. 1) Magnepan 20.7 $9K used 2) PS Audio BHK 300 Mono Blocks $6.5K used 3) PS AUdio BHK Signature Preamp - $3K used. For an upgrade ARC Ref 6SE around $9K used. 4) Gustard R26 DAC with OCK-2 Master Clock - around $2 K new

Save your money.....this rocks: http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/DIY_Bi-amped_super_speaker.html 30 hz flat.....bi-amped....super transparent....plays LOUD....super inexpensive......Costs what a great power cord costs. Will blow your mind. |
Here’s a highly resolving system that will sound like the musicians are in the room with you. Comes in just a hair under $20,000.
Streamer: Teac NT-505 X new - $2,300 Speakers: Martin Logan Summit X used - $5,000 IC cables: Teo Audio Balanced XLR new - $3,000 Speaker cables: take your pick from Nordost, MIT, Shunyata, etc. used - $3,000
The Summit’s will require quite a bit of breathing room (i.e. 4 feet from the back wall and at least 3 feet from a side wall). But the sound will be sublime! Good luck with your project!

If the best set up is for the music and sound, check out Wavetouch audio system. WT is closest to the original and live music in the world. And it is only real natural sound system regardless of cost. $20k is not enough for whole system but close. And cables can be bought later. Listen to WT live recordings.
