How do you determine how much to spend on speakers


Hello all,

I am just starting out in this HI-FI stuff and have a pretty modest budget (prospectively about 5K) for all. Any suggestions as to how funds should be distributed. At this stage, I have no interest in any analog components. Most notably, whether or not it is favorable to splurge on speakers and settle for less expensive components and upgrade later, or set a target price range and stick to it.

Thanks

Considering the original post was 1-16-02 , I am sure he already bought what he needed.
11 years later, hows it working out? My last speaker purchase was under $100. Not too long ago I spent a whopping $330 on Forte IIs. If I hit the lotto, who knows?
don't you just shop until you find the least expensive speakers that you truly love?
