Moving to separates
Finally willing to make the jump to separates.
Live in apartment setting: have managed to sell off most of my "consumer electronics" to fund purchases of first separates equipment.
Have been attentively reading this site's postings for some time. While I am not ready to jump into the high-end side of the pool, are any of you able to recommend some reasonably priced separates to consider first? I realize that they won't be, and shouldn't be "cheap", though I am admittedly not yet willing to take the plunge on extraordinarily high priced goods.
I haven't yet bought speakers; I'm currently auditioning several pairs.
Thanks so much for your help in starting me off with a list to use while traveling about, listening!
