With that kind of budget, go audition the Dutch & Dutch 8c system. At $15k, it is a complete audio system - powered loudspeakers with active crossover, DSP room tuning, DAC, and if you have enough common sense to be strictly digital (more on that later), then you can connect to it as a Roon client. Boom. You’re done.
No exotic speaker or interconnect cables to fool with. All of your electronics are built-in and I have NEVER heard anything image as well as D&D 8c. They have exceptional tonal balance and have a low end that needs no help.
You could unload that boat anchor amp you’ve got, along with everything else and have money left over for live concerts.
As for vinyl, it's the most expensive and poor value in audio except for The Tape Project machines and media, which is really for only those people with far too much money and no idea how else to throw it away.
New records cost you $20 each. That gets you a dozen tracks, half of which you won't want to hear a 2nd time. A table in the range your budget calls for will begin at $2000, with a $1000 cartridge (minimum).
But for less than $20/month, you can subscribe to an on-line, high resolution streaming service and have access to literally millions of tracks. Vinyl doesn't make sense unless you're an old fart like me and have a collection going back 50+ years.
Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
Hello All: Many of us have limited access/ability to audition multiple speakers brands. That got me to thinking- If one had a budget of $20K max, a solid state amp rated at 125WPC, and listened to all varieties of music (primarily rock, pop, folk), what speaker(s) would you be most willing to recommend to that person and feel confident they would be happy with the purchase?
