Sell all, buy a cable for 3k first and start again.
What is my weak est link...? Suggestions please.
So here it is: I have a budget of $4000 to upgrade one of the following:
Speakers: Hales Concept 2 (one tweeter - one 7" driver)
Pre: Adcom GFP-750 (Nelson Pass design)
Amp: Adcom 5800
My Thoughts:
Speakers are built like tanks - solid walnut & concrete. Although they lack bottom end.
Bought the Pre years ago; A/B'd them to a Krell Pre ("lower line") which I was prepared to buy. Based on my audition at that time, I picked the Adcom.
Originally, I was thinking about a McIntosh 300 watt amp to replace the Adcom. However, does anyone have any experience with the Adcom GFP-750 as compared to other pre-amps? Also, do you think $$$ would be better spent replacing the Hales with a pair of BW801? I could add a subwoofer, but I kinda like the simplicity of the two speaker set-up.
Thanks for any positive feedback! It is great to have a support community out here in iPod world...
