Nothing is going to impact the sound of your system more than your speakers. All of the other components lead to them but ultimately, your speakers will define the overall sound of your system. Go and listen to speakers. A lot of them. Find what sounds best to you and buy them. Then figure out the rest of your components.
Picking a power amp
Hi folks,
I'am trying to pick a power amp for a modest system(15,000)
My listening area is 12x20.
I have a MX110z tuner preamp,and a Adcom 545 100wt per channel power amp now.
I just got a Auralic Vega g1 and it sounds great to me.
I'am using tidal to the the streamer and like it a lot.
It is time to pick a power amp or speakers.
I currently have 25 year old Polk m10's and since getting the auralic,I'am fairly surprised how much better they sound.
I don't know whether to get speakers or a amp next,to get to the next level.
Amps I'am considering are Mac 225,240,275 if tube or Mac 7270 or 2205 SS.
I'am also considering AR,and CJ if I could find something 2,000-5,000
For speakers I was thinking Klipsch for tube amp or Sonus Faber if SS,if I can find a model that can do rock and used under 5,000.
I listen to 40% rock 40% pop,blues,soul 20% classical,jazz.
Any thoughts on where to go next.
Thanks
