Tough to find a consensus because we have different budgets and spending priorities - those with larger budgets would usually spend more than those on a more restricted budgets. Rough guess those on a tight budget 3-7k for electronics (pre+amp) and those with loose wallets 10-15k+. Above this amount speaker upgrade becomes an attractive budget alternative.
??? 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..
