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

Kiko65-You make a great point! Not many of us consider the Rega RS-10/Sonics Allegria/ or AC-Grand Supreme value leaders at there price point! I'm sure the Spiral Groove monitor would NOT want to battle a $4300 ATC SCM 19v2(lol)!
Anyone who tells you to put most into your speakers is clueless. It all starts at the source. IF you have just a "decent" speaker, the source is what will make all the difference.
