i agree with wellfed and costrosk. speakers. i started on a new system last year...2 preamps; 3 cds; 1 dac; 3 tuners; 3 amps; and lastly a 2nd set of speakers (all in a year...i had it badly). if i would have bought the better speakers first...i probably would not have changed some of the other gear. great speakers will sound acceptable with almost all gear....ok speakers will only sound a little better with great gear. good luck...i am done for a while (out of money).
