$100K system build - % breakdown of spend
I know there are several such breakdowns all over the web, but each different in one way or another. Thanks in advance for anyone willing to lend thoughts here.
Assuming $100K to build a system (indifferent between new/used) with equal time spent and enjoyment from streaming and vinyl (for now leaving out other digital and other analog), does the following ballpark seem reasonable? If you’d bump something up, what would you bump down?
Speakers - $30K
Subs - $5K
Amp(s) - $20K
Preamp - $10K
TT, cartridge, arm, phono preamp - $10K
DAC - $5K
Streamer - $5K
Cables, Interconnects, Power Cords, Power Cond/Regen - $10K
Isolation Products, room treatments and system rack(s) - $5K
Leaving out for now fuses, contact enhancers and the like.
Thanks again for any thoughts.
Agree with @carlsbad in that I would be disappointed if I couldn't put together a satisfying system sans subs for 100k. Having said that bump the speaker number as an exercise and see what you find, doesn't mean you have to spend it. Speakers are número uno in my book. I have to ask: Seems like you're in a rush to go forward with this upgrade... Regards,
