There are various points of view as to whether the source is most important, the speakers, the amplification, etc... My theory is that a chain ( or audio system ) is only as strong as its' weakest link. As such, it has to be built around that premise. You can't buy a "better" piece here to try and "band aid" / make up for the "not quite as good" piece over there. Most try to achieve a balanced system without singling out any one component as being more important than another. After all, remove or change any one of them on a system that is finely tuned and the synergy is no longer there.... Sean
