Perspective system advise needed.

You appear to have dismissed the Dutch and Dutch as a choice. This is a mistake as they are probably the best sounding of the speakers mentioned to date.

Personally I think you are going in the wrong direction

you should select loud speakers first. 

altough we are specialists in active loudspeakers we sell kef dali elac and atc 

we view these  as lifestyle products for starter systems  or for users looking to add music for another room.

we would recomend visitung a few stores and listening to some great monitors priced at 2k to 5k and great compact floorstanders at the samr range.

this way you can find out what your ear likes detailed or warmer and more musical 

then find an amplifier that drives the speakers well 

many great integrated amplifiers have excellent d dacs and somtimes even have great built in streamers.

a great system in that ptice range dali rubocon 6 a small floorstander 6k

hegel h190 4350 iintegrated 

node 600

total $10,950 add in some good cables and you are in budget

in the future you can upgrade the dac and streamer and contnue to refibe your sound

He never mentioned that he was Russian before I made mention of the misspelling, so you are wrong. It has nothing to do with arrogance. Whether he's Russian or from Brooklyn, it never hurts to learn. Anyway, there are many American members here who make grammatical and spelling errors way worse than that.

Members here who have specific knowledge of things like tubes or crossovers are always a source of learning for me, and I am grateful to them for that.

"Very common treatment around here."

@juanmanuelfangioii

Yes, you would say that because you always have something to say, and you’re always misspelling words.

Okay MC2. Real assy.
