??? How Much Would You Spend ???


I’m curious about something...Lets say your going to build a system for a smallish room...For a hundred years,the recommendation is choose speakers first,then build around them...
So you fall completely under the spell of a pair of speakers with a $12,500.00 MSRP...What is the minimum amount you would spend just for your amplification with no eye towards any future upgrade?
Thanks for your participation,it is appreciated..

So the last 5 years I have had a Raven Audio Osprey Tube Amp with their Corvus Speakers and I have been really thrilled with what I hear out of this beautiful amp...At 73 yrs old and having tinnitus pretty bad I have wondered if I really could hear much more than I do with this unit..I talked to Raven and they told me they would give me a trade in on 5 yr old Osprey for the Reflection they make..I would be another 14k to get this unit and believe me I had  to really talk myself in..But I finally did and I am so happy I did for the music and detail I hear coming out of songs that I never knew existed all these years even from Oldies songs I am blown away..But it is what you are willing to spend for best quality sound you desire to hear...And those 5 years with Osprey I thought was my best and I have a whole new sound that will last me for years of enjoyment...  

The bottom line is that what you can afford will determine how much detail,headroom and depth of music you ears will hear...      

And you can listen to any sound system at a Retailers but until you get it into your sound room of playing you really will not know  how it sounds with your room acoustics...

I ask my wife every time I make a change do you hear this or that and has No Clue what it is I listen for or hear...

I know this last purchase of the Reflection is at the Peak of what I I will ever hear from my system ...No Regrets and have to wait for wife to go out so I can enjoy my music..LOL
