The best thing about this hobby is the wide range of opinions out there, I tend to follow the "speakers are the most important component" doctrine, so it was interesting to see that both Nrchy and Warrenh believe the source is the most important component.
I currently have a speaker budget of around $1000 and I'm looking at B&W DM603 S3, and Paradigm Reference Studio 60; both of these are available at local dealers. Any other suggestions? I also have access to Tannoy, Audes, Spendor.
On a slightly different note, does anybody know anything about nOrh speakers?
Although I did it completely backwards, it's sound advice; to go with the source first. Do your CDP homework. You'll (depending on your $) find some great stuff out there, new or used that will lay waste to your Nad. Hey, it's just the beginning. Have a ball.
