I live in HI where there are 2 dealers, neither of which is open most of the time. Since my in-laws live in DE I looked there and found Overture Audio, one of the best dealers in the US. They sell the full range of stuff from entry level to Devialet, McIntosh, Hegel, etc. I have bought one item from them over the years and spent hours there listening to different things. Might want to check them out. I also bought equipment from Quest for Sound in Bensalem, PA. I wanted to hear Kef LS50s. I spend a day there and got great gear at great prices with a no pressure experience. In fact, when I mentioned upping my purchase of a Marantz amp to the Reference level they suggested I listen more as they didnt think it was worth the increased dollars!
Looking to build a system for under $5k
Hello,
I am brand new to audio and looking to put a system together for around/under $5k all in. Any recommendations?
This would be mainly for CD audio but expandable for phono in the future. I have a small bedroom that I am dedicating as a music room upstairs in a cape cod style home. So it has angled walls that follow the roof line.
Looking for components that offer the biggest bang for the buck. I've done some research over the last couple of months and it seems like the Vandersteen 1Ci might be a good cornerstone to design a system around.
Thanks,
Joe
