How do you determine how much to spend on speakers


Hello all,

I am just starting out in this HI-FI stuff and have a pretty modest budget (prospectively about 5K) for all. Any suggestions as to how funds should be distributed. At this stage, I have no interest in any analog components. Most notably, whether or not it is favorable to splurge on speakers and settle for less expensive components and upgrade later, or set a target price range and stick to it.

Thanks

I am in general agreement with Shadorne but there are some special cases. One that I am familiar with is Maggies, where a pair of MG1.6, for example, fit well with electronics costing four or five times as much (and that is not including vinyl playback which would run it up to at least ten times).
