I'm upgrading entire system. Speakers: I'm leaning towards Focal Sopra 3, Scala V2 or EgglestonWorks Vigniti. I've ruled out Wilson and Sonus, and haven't listened to KEF.
Preamp: will surely be same brand as power. If McIntosh, then C2600 with the MC611. I like the C2600 b/c of DAC/Phono/Headphone stages. If I decide on Naim power, then will pair it with Naim preamp.
Sources are vinyl and streaming. I have a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable that will get upgraded down the road. I haven't picked a streamer yet.
Cables - will be buying these. I have a pair of TaraLabs speaker cables, but willing to upgrade. Would prefer to run XLR between preamp and amp.
Power conditioner - need one.
Guessing you'll ask what my budget is. I don't really have one, but am willing to dump $75k+/-.
I've joined Audiogon and am posting here because I've gotten lost reading reviews, and am ready to invest in a great system. I listen to hard rock, rock, jazz and a lot of electronic. 45 years old, and I have a dedicated listening room that I just finished renovating. Here's the room: https://imgur.com/gallery/Upznc5D
Thanks for the input.
