I agree with Bob Reynolds...Go with something like the ATC active (I would go used) and get a benchmark USB DAC and forget about the cdp and instead use your computer as a music server. That would be the best bang for the buck and it would allow you to upgrade nicely.
I got around $2000 to play with....
Wife has allowed me to spend around $2000 on speakers, CDP, and amp for our new house.
Details:
Medium sized room, mostly jazz, classical, and some old soul (I like the warm rich sound of my stax and atlantic cds).
I want to stick with solid-state for now. Will consider used for amp and CDP, but would like to get speakers new.
Here is what I am thinking from other research
Music Hall 25.2 amp and cdp ($550 each)
Monitor Audio RS6s ($1100)
What else would y'all recommend I look at?
Thanks!
