Here's a challenge:a class A sound system for less


You may have heard the finest systems in show rooms or in expos or in a friend's house, those system's that cost well over $50,000. So you know the sound I'm talking about...... But can you get this sound for less? Name the system and components that make up a system that brings the sense of you are there experience but cost much less. Let's set the limit to $10,000. Name the components and speakers and cost, even used prices could be used since the components most likely are available here on agon. Let's see who could come up with the best deal.

Zone 2:
Galante Rhapsody - $1000
Anthem AMP-1 - $400.

Both sound wonderful to me. Main area very detailed, zone 2 has that organic tube sound.

I can't see spending substantially more unless I built a dedicated listening room. The room is the limiting factor for 95% of us in my mind.
