??? How Much Would You Spend ???


I’m curious about something...Lets say your going to build a system for a smallish room...For a hundred years,the recommendation is choose speakers first,then build around them...
So you fall completely under the spell of a pair of speakers with a $12,500.00 MSRP...What is the minimum amount you would spend just for your amplification with no eye towards any future upgrade?
Thanks for your participation,it is appreciated..

The biggest mistake most people make is under investing in the preamp.  Weather it be a standalone or an integrated.  Don't be that guy!  Good luck with your new system.  

Despite what the prevailing opinion says, prices for one item don't have to be similar with other ones AND price doesn't always indicate quality. There's something that happens with way too many people that they can't figure that out, but that's what happens. 

The little fosi audio mono is about 300 watts with great reviews parts express has a sale on them now they are great for small rooms you could get a chit tube preamp it sounds great.i have high end michi krell mcintosh bryston pass parasound cary and others.these little fosi mono amps are a bargain.mcintosh marantz denon audio research and other major brands have gone class d as well.enjoy the hunt and music

The bottom line is that what you can afford will determine how much detail,headroom and depth of music you ears will hear...      

And you can listen to any sound system at a Retailers but until you get it into your sound room of playing you really will not know  how it sounds with your room acoustics...

I ask my wife every time I make a change do you hear this or that and has No Clue what it is I listen for or hear...

I know this last purchase of the Reflection is at the Peak of what I I will ever hear from my system ...No Regrets and have to wait for wife to go out so I can enjoy my music..LOL
