hi.
i went through this a little while ago. listening room is in living area...
bottom line everything matters.
for me i got a intergrated amp with ht bypass.
vitus sia 025. i started with audia flight fl3s.
marantz 7011 avr.
vitus made a huge difference to both movies and music. dac streamer is a ayon s10 signature.
front speakers make a huge difference to both music and HT especially music scores in movies.
cables made a difference to. i went from canare 4311 and basic rca to purist audio and i will never go back.
my advice if you are certain your going to chase the best you can afford.
save and replace your weakest link with the best you can afford. rinse a repeat.
enjoy
steve
