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 Krazeeyk  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 01-16-02

If a $1000 to $1500 integrated amp is producing "garbage out", then you were ripped off. The THD on a Yamaha a-s1000 integrated, which sells for around $1200 is less than 0.02%. The only thing that a more expensive amp might do is play louder. Louder, not cleaner.
