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

Personally I start with speakers. Whatever does it for me that I can afford.
And then I build a system around them that works as best it can as funds permit.
This way you end up with a good front end that when the time comes to upgrade the speakers, there is little to do to optimise for them, simple as cables, or perhaps an amp, and then move forward.

A "strategy" for progress.....although recently I have been through wholesale changes as everything is getting on a bit in age now. And I've mellowed as I 've got older and priorities do change.
