Good suggestion. The first such review will be the all Eastern Electric Minimax stack - at ca. $1,350 per item, a bit higher than your price bracket but a step in the right direction I dare say. The next one already lined up will be Klaus Bunge's $1,500 Odyssey Audio marvel (you supply the CDP, he includes everything else in that price). The trick with affordable *systems* reviews is that unless it's all from one manufacturer, you can't upfront be certain that what you assemble based on price/specs will actually work that well as a system. And going through endless substitutions until you hit upon *the magic* isn't fair to those manufacturers whose products you asked for and then rejected.But one-manufacturer systems are different - say Arcam, Adcom, Naim, Cambridge Audio, Audio Refinement etc.
Lemme see what we can line up beyond the two that are already in the chute. Good idea - thanks!
