so if you had 10k to spend on a brand new system which included a cd player, amplifier and loudspeakers how would you divide the budget ?
i ask this question as many years ago i read an article (in hifi news i think ?) where it was stated that the interviewee would spend £8500 on just the speakers !
his reasoning was that you could get a "cracking" cd player for roughly £1000 and that loudspeakers were the best place to assign the bulk of the funds.
therefore, bearing in mind that cd players, amplifiers and loudspeakers have a different price point regarding the (steep ?) "diminishing returns effect" in performance, how would you spend a 10k budget ?
