Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ?

fuses first, then cables...eventually the rest of the system will fall into place. room last.

Spend full budget on Shun mook discs and Shakti stones....no speakers and sources are needed. Just start singing, dancing and tossing shakti stones around   --> quickest path to audio nirvana.

Speakers only matter up to a certain price point if you understand room acoustics, setup and the art of integrating subs.

Thereafter, all the flagship nuance, high end magic, etc is created by the front end electronics.
