Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system


Hello to all...

I'm looking for opinions on the magic formula for purchasing components base on catergories:

Source or sources

Control

Amplification

Sound Transmission

Interconnection and Cabling

Setup and storage

Thoughts? Opinions? Your system "equation" ?

PS: which of the above is the most important block in the wall?

I agree with those above who stated there are too many variables. 
The greatest ones are your total budget and the efficiency of your speakers.  I have two sets of Magnepan and ended up spending a lot more on power amps than I would have spent on efficient speakers.  
However,  for the past 25 years, I appear to be addicted to Maggies.
