Op,
If possible, take the time to understand what is important to you in a system.
I have a pair of powered Dynaudio Focus in my living room and a pair of smaller Dynaudio Xeo in the bedroom. They share streaming music through a wireless hub controlled by my phone. I love it.
Even my lower end home theater receiver sounds good to me… and that’s blasphemy in these circles.
I’ve had separates and it’s not for me. Same with tubes.
My long winded point is try to listen to a range of systems before you decide on a budget. No need in building a dedicated audio wing on your home just to realize your cousins $1,500 system sounds pretty dang good. Or maybe it should be a two story wing, haha.
Run your own race, hope you enjoy your new system!
