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

I have always believed the room was half the battle.

The room is the most important component, not the sexiest but the most important. IMO, don't spend big money until you get the foundation settled, then build your system.

If what you've got doesn't sound good in that space, work with the space first and see what improvement you get. Maybe the speaker isn't harsh afterall.
