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

Oh well, this thread started exactly 8 years ago !

Dollar value have changed... $5K in today's value would be almost $10K

I think the most difficult part is STICKING to your original budget plan :O)

Yes, I have failed on this, too.

I plan to spend 40% on speaker, 30% on solid amp (with most power I can get), and all the others for 30%.

But my speaker department is demanding more budget.
(Every time I listen to new speakers, budget goes up)

I kept the amps and other components under control,(thanks to AudiogoN) but the speaker budget has gone up 50%..Alas...
