Im with Ross B on this one. From my experience, if you have a really dolid front end then many speakers will sound good. I’ve also found that more $ doesn’t always equate to better sound. You can get exceptionally good speakers for $2-$5k. If you buy used, even less $. I could justify used $1400 speakers and $8k on the rest. Everything matters. Dac, source, preamp, amp, cables, room treatments. Overspend on speakers right out oc ghe gate and good luck following through on the rest. $10k spread out evenly will smoke $7500 speakers with $2500 left over for the aforementioned
Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers?
Hello, just curious on this subject. I have seen threads where folks ask for advice on how to allocate their budget and this topic comes up. I also see systems posted on various forums where folks have $10K-$20K in gear driving $2K-$5K in speakers and wonder why. I have traditionally been a speakers first person as that is where I have noticed the greatest differences. For those that allocate more on gear vs speakers what are your reasons? No judgement, I am just interested in hearing another point of view.
