Perentage system $$ for speakers


While reading various posts in the past, I have read comments where some believe that the speakers should only be about 15% of the total system cost where other believe they should be the main focus. I am not looking for a right or wrong answer in this, I am just curious as to the thoughts of others on this topic.

I say it is a sliding scale depending on system total value. For $5000 system only 25% for speakers as you need to spend more money for good source CDP/Turntable. For $20,000 system or higher you may have 25% to 50% on speakers as you lready now have good source and amp/preamp and can spend more for speakers, Sam
