Ok this will be a good thread.


What in your opinion is the most important part of a good 2 channel system. Or what has the biggest impact on overall sound. For example if you feel Speakers are most important, or Preamp, Amp, Source. I am not looking for a ss vs. tube debate, just what do you feel is most important.

I will start:
I feel speakers are the most important part. I know lots of you are going to say electronics, but keep it to one part, like Preamp, Amp, etc.

WOW. I just got back from CES in Las Vegas. I had a National Sales Meeting, that is why I got home on Wednesday. The show was over on Sunday. I knew this was a good thread. 91 posts.
Anyway after taking the time to read the replies I think JAX2 is right. Also he actually read my initial post and saw that I asked what was the most important part, and what had the most impact on the system.

Thanks,

You are right, the question I originally posed was regarding the hierarchy of importance of components that exist WITHIN the two channel system.
It was a question about hardware, plain and simple. NOT any of the other elements you illuminated so eloquently.

You were 100% correct. Still it was interesting to hear everyone's comments.
