I my country the most common mistake people in audio make is spending a lot of money on speakers compared to the rest of their set.
What I did 10 years ago during a audio show was using speakers of just 1000 dollar and I used an integrated amp of 7000 dollar. I had a stunning endresult. ( what counts most)
I told people the importance of an amp and that many people spend less money on amps.
There is a reason why people people spend easilly a lot of money on speakers compared to how much they spend on amps and cables.
This was a reason why I started to use blind tests in the past. Because audio works best by convincing people.
Still many make this mistake. So I bring in cables and amps to open their eyes ( ears)
