$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.

Long story short, I sold my beloved 2-channel to reduce family debt. In about a year-ish, I’ll be in a position to rebuild with a hefty budget. I loved my Harbeth + Pass Labs combo. My REL sub died before I really got to integrate it, so opinions wanted there as well. I fully understand the diminishing margin of returns when moving into some arenas, but that’s ok, opinions are strongly encouraged.

I listen to a lot of Miles Davis/Coltrane, Radiohead, Tool, Pearl Jam, Brent Cobb. I’ve often preferred “organic” or neutral, not sure how technical that is.

Take your time.  Pick speakers first.  Get what you like.  Look at Sonus Faber, B&W 

Magico, Rockport, Vinberg (some great reviews) 

I recently started the upgrade path and went with Sonus Faber found a fantastic Demo pair.   I have an Anthem P5 and it still sounds great much better than people give it credit. 

 

Then decide on your source or sources.   I'd recommend to look at a really good 

Integrated especially if theater bypass is something you might want to do in the future.

Im looking at Boulder amp 866 and Gryphon Diablo 300 

Both have very good DAC streamers.   Simaudio Moon also makes great gear. 

 

Have fun.
