You have gotten some good responses so far and I agree that the speakers will make the greatest difference in sound. One other thing to consider: single-driver speakers. I have had numerous multiple driver speakers including some mentioned above, up to $42K retail. I recently bought some single drivers and had a friend make some simple laminated mdf cabinets, total cost $1600. I can report that I will never go back to multiple driver speakers; well, I highly doubt it anyway. Just something to think about.
Amp or speaker first, upgrade
Hello audiogoners, it's the Brahman on a beer budget with an upgrade dilemma.
I currently have a Krell s300i, a pair of Definitive technology bp8080 as my system.
Now, I want to upgrade both but, one at a time and was wondering which of the two
components should I dispense with first?
Here are the amps I've been looking to audition, Icon Audio st40 mkiiim, Luxman 505ux, McIntosh Ma5200
and Prima Luna Dialogue Premium. As you can see there is a solid state in the bunch.
As for speakers, I'm interested in the Vandersteens 3a signature, the Sonus Faber Venere S, and the
Wharfdale Jade 7. I know this topic has been brought before so I'll welcome some new and refreshing
ideas and comments! Thanks a bunch Audiogoners!
