I don't think you can use cost %. All I know is I had two different pairs of speaker monitors on stands, one pair with a sub woofer. I was not satisfied until I moved to floor standing speakers Proac DR30.
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
