2. amps-preamps

How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components?

What is the best ratio (out of a total of 100%) in terms of money to put in a high-end hi-fi set containing:
1. CD player/DAC, 2. Pre-amp, 3. Power-amp, 4. speakers.
(25% will be assigned to each if the 4 parts are equal).
Can we take this as a reference to distribute the budget when buying power-amp?

Looking forward to learning experiences and technical information from audiophiles including hi-fi dealers.

Thank you so much for the knowledge.
To pair with an efficient pair of speakers like Raidho XT2, what would be the best proportion of budget for pre-am vs power-am? 50-50, 80-20 split or what?

Responses received are eye-opening. Learning the motto of “it all matters” and the various distribution of components / contributions for a true hi-fi experience can be a great option s reference for beginners like me.
