+1 yogiboy. I think he hit the nail on the head. Of course, for a great many audiophiles the need and lust to keep changing gear will always exist. I don't ever think spending more $$$ always gets you better sound. HoGwAsH!!! I looked at your components, they are a very nice choice. If you really have the bug, audition a bunch of speakers, if your luv a particular selection ask to try "in home" alongside your MA. If you decide they are better, sell the MA speakers. Just an idea.
Underspent on speakers relative to overall system?
I’m sure this has been discussed many times in the past, but was curious about where your systems sits in this breakdown? I am wondering if I underspent on my speakers relative to my overall system. My current, just recently completed system by percentage looks like this:
31% - SOURCE – PS Audio PerfectWave DirectStream DAC/BRIDGE II & Roon library management
27% - SPEAKERS – Monitor Audio Platinum PL100’s & REL Storm subwoofer
16% - AMPLIFICATION – PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP Integrated
16% - POWER CONDITIONING– PS Audio Power Plant Premier & Panamax MAX® 5300-EX Power Conditioner
6% - CABLES - DH Labs Silver Sonic speaker cables & interconnects, and Pangea power cords
4% - CABINETRY – including AIRCOM CLOUDPLATE T7, QUIET RACK COOLING FAN SYSTEM 2U
Not sure if there are "standard" guidelines of ranges of how much by percentage you should spend in each category.
Look forward to
your responses!
Cheers,
Sam
