I am looking to spend £2000 on an amp/speaker combination. It will probably be sourced with apple lossless files (pobably via sonos). I want to find out what sound i like best. People talk of sytems sounding bright, forward, smooth, relaxed etc. I realise that someone's neutral is anothers bright but.......
1) Can someone suggest two contrasting systems at opposite ends of spectrum and maybe one in the middle. From there i can then make finer adjustments by listening to different combinations. Lets not go down the interconnects and speaker cable route yet!! I just need some starting points. My gut feeling if that i like a neutral to smooth sound. I like a wide range of music including rock, jazz, blues, and vocal artists (not a classical fan).
I liked the Naim XS amp/rega RS5 combination but havent heard in relative to other set ups.
Thanks
