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 would spend more on speakers and power amp basically.

My suggestions:
1. Speakers: $2000
2. Power amp: $1000
3. Preamp: $800
4. Digital Source (CD player or Transport+D/A): $800
5. Cables: $400

I would recommend to purchase mint condition used stuff with your 5k budget. Good luck!
