Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade
So I have an unexpected bonus coming my way and may want to dedicate a portion of it to a system upgrade. Let's say 5-7k. Current system is Pioneer S-1ex speakers, Cambridge CXC transport, Musical Fidelity A1008 integrated, Burson Composer 3xp dac. Cables are mid grade nothing fancy but better than stock. Not really interested in streaming at the moment.
So for a descent chunk of change what should I be looking at? If I sold the speakers I could probably go up to 10k for another pair (used always) but I really don't think I have come close yet to maxing out the potential of these Pioneers (tad).
Nice speakers. While they aren't part of the TAD lineup, they sure look solid-Andrew Jones design? quality build/parts. They deserve to be well into the room for optimum performance, along with appropriate room treatment-diffusion/damping. Another placement option: http://www.cardas.com/room_setup_calculators.php Just a suggestion, not for every room. I'd spend your money on a more substantial DAC. I'm a Denafrips fan After that , consider a major amp upgrade. Subs can always improve any setup. |
