If you're interested in very high quality sound and have limited funds, consider high quality earphones and a dedicated headphone amp.
Thoughts about speakers for a newbie
I am quite new to the audio world and always like hearing people's opinions (knowing in the end it is individual preferences).
Currently I have Mac running Tidal/Audirvana to Chord Qutest to PS Audio Sprout 100 and MarkAudio Sota Cesti B. I think the system sounds nice but recently made some upgrades. I found a mix of new and used equiptment. They should be in this week and I am thinking the speakers will be my weak point at this time. New system:
Innuos MiniMK II to the Chord Qutest to an Audio Hungary APR 204 to First Watt F7.
I have read a bit on the Rethm Maarga and they sound interesting, but no dealer within 250 miles to hear them in person. I really like the sound of my MarkAudio Sota speakers and also considering Viotti Towers. I have heard a lot of people singing the praise of Double impacts by Tekton (but have not heard them either).
Any suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance for your comments
