I budgeted $5000 after reading multiple HiFi websites and magazines. I already owned the analog equipment and needed the integrated amp, the CD player, the speakers and the equipment stand. My next step is a wire loom (Kimber? Chord? Other?)and possibly a better MM cartridge upgrade.
My design criteria was that it sound tearfully beautiful with opera, and wonderful with classical and piano and vocalists and rock and roll. I'm quite pleaseed with the sound.
My room is weird with large opening between speakers yielding a 30 foot longitudal hall. Where does that low bass come from?
