| Help me build out my first system Thanks all for your input, the advice and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Been a busy couple weeks but will report back soon; have gotten out to hear a few things and starting to put a plan together. | |
| Help me build out my first system Why don't you call a reputable dealer and speak to them. Share your system goals and see what they can put togther on your budget. TMR, Holt Hill Audio, Upscale Audio amongst others get mentioned here on this site for a reason. @bgross there ... | |
| Help me build out my first system in your budget (3 times what my system is worth) I truly don't get why you would bother with multiple circuits. It's like putting Ferrari wheels on a Kia. And Kia has become a great car.... @grislybutter Under a different circumstance I mig... | |

| Help me build out my first system @grislybutter Great advice, I’m lucky to have some great advisors locally, without whom I’d not have made it this far. But given everyone’s advice is colored by their preferences, to some extent, I thought I’d cast a wider net here! Looking forwar... | |
| Help me build out my first system I should add that I listen mostly to jazz and rock in all varieties (Ellington, Mingus, Weather Report, Frisell, Bowie, Jeff Beck, Grateful Dead) as well as some Devo-type stuff and especially love live recordings. I do have an extensive library o... | |
| Help me build out my first system Thanks, soix. I generally prefer a more neutral sound. As a musician with some recording and mixing experience it’s important to me to retain as much intentionality in any given production. I enjoy my Yamaha HS7 powered monitors for near-field lis... |
