??? How Much Would You Spend ???

The most I will spend is 10k.

The biggest mistake most people make is under investing in the preamp.  Weather it be a standalone or an integrated.  Don't be that guy!  Good luck with your new system.  

Despite what the prevailing opinion says, prices for one item don't have to be similar with other ones AND price doesn't always indicate quality. There's something that happens with way too many people that they can't figure that out, but that's what happens. 

Totally agree with @rick_n !  Preamps are crucial in my experience.
