I'm taking votes

I've decided to sink about another 20K in my system. I would like to upgrade either my digital front end or speakers. The CD12 would be my first choice for a CD player, and the Wilson Benesch Chimeras would be be my first choice for a speaker upgrade. What would you do, and why would you do it?

Instead of giving my vote for one or the other, I somewhat question the CD-12; I do not doubt it's capabilities nor the enjoyment it could bring, but I wonder if some other CD players that have been released over the last year or so do not meet or possibly exceed the 12 for less money. Just a thought.

None that I've heard, although I'm considering an audition of the Lindemann D680 player. Linn has also made several improvements to the CD12 since its'introduction in 1999.

If you're a true Linnie, and by your other gear it looks like you might be, then the only answer would be the CD12. Start with the source right, FWIW I once heard the CD12 in a fully active all Linn system and was blown away. Either way I'm sure you'll be happy!
