Luckily for me I just trusted my now friend who is a set up person for how to build a system. I really would have had no idea where to spend time and money. I agree that the people one meets on a journey like this is super cool, and luckily for me my wife is really into it as well. Sticker shock was there, and we are not flush with cash for sure, but as we heard the results we really started to believe in it. My wife and I are both professional musicians so we were dubious at first, ( for example what great feet can do for each component) but we love sitting down with a martini and listening to music and ignoring all the noise on TV now. Yes, it has become a part of our lives and we met a great friend in the process who I paid to set up my system. I totally agree with bigtex22 that speaker set up might actually be the most important component in my system. Lol, and yes that cost me money also.
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.
