@fritzenheimer - your opening post seems like you’re asking $ allocated, which doesn’t make sense because we each have unique disposable income and unique budgets for audio components. So the answer is individual subjective- there is no one size fits all.
If you’re asking minimum expenditure to reach a “satisfying” level, then +1 @jasonbourne71 - roughly about 5k.
If you’re asking how to allocate $, then a rough guide is in %: 40–50% of the budget to speakers, 25–30% to amplification, 15–20% to sources (DAC/streamer/turntable), and 5–10% to cables/accessories. BUT this is only a rough guide that might be helpful for new setups.
But I highly suspect what you’re really asking for guidance on next component move. If so, then it’s usually the weak link in one’s audio chain that needs to be addressed. If you want guidance from us, list to your audio chain components, the sonic direction you wish to go, and your budget. If you plan to upgrade other components, share that info also as well try so we can make better suggestions of compatible/synergistic components.
OP, please clarify your intent/inquiry
