Best set-up under $20K


Hello!

I´m starting to look for an upgrade.  What would you buy with a 20k budget?  (new or used)

My actual system is bw803d2 with hegel h360.
I started looking at bw802d3 with mcintosh ma8900 + streamer (?)

I mostly listen to digital (Tidal) through iphone/airplay.  

Will install it in a big room (about 6mts x 10mts); listenning & dinning room. 

Tks

I love all these amp and speaker recommendations.  It's like recommending a paint job on a ship with a big crack in the hull.  

+100 on the posters suggesting the digital chain drastically needs an upgrade before any other gear should be considered.  Airplay is far from optimized.  A good wired streamer and DAC is absolutely the next step.  It would be challenging to determine what else to do until the source is better optimized. 

Tidal is supposed to be rolling out non-MQA high resolution and so make sure your new digital rig is capable.
