Hello there,
while there is no set theory regarding how much one should spend on individual components, I've heard many people spent half the money on their speakers, and a quarter for the amp and the final for the source. I often hear about others who have spent half their money on their source and spend the rest on the source and amp.
In my case, I've bought the Mezzos for 1200 pounds (including delivery to Bangladesh), about 800 pounds on my Cayins and only 220 pounds on my dac magic which is my main source. That would mean that I have spend 54% of my money on speakers, 36% on my amp and only 9% on my main source! (Although, prices vary in Bangladesh according to demand so Mezzos actually should've cost 700 pounds and the Cayin 1500 pounds)
The question is, what is your expenditure ratio (just components, no money on tweaks and cables or rack or stands)? Given your particular expenditure ratio, where do you think you should invest more in the future?
For myself, I'll be changing my speakers and dac as I feel they are holding back my amp despite them being good vfm.
