Thanks,
I’am trying to keep the cost of the power amp and speakers under 10,000.
The reason I was thinking of getting the power amp first is that to me it will be a factor in which speaker I get.
I heard some Klipsh chorus 2’s once with a Mcintosh tube set up(don’t remember which power amp,but the pre was a c-22) and it sounded really good to me for rock.
I also really like what I have heard of the Sonus Faber’s,is there a model under 5,000 used that would be suited to cover rock as well as other genre’s
