RE: There *is* a reason folks emphasize the speakers...

R,

It is *quite* reasonable to devote 50% of the budget on speakers.

I tend to agree, but it really depends on the speakers.

Maybe it is my Magnepan colored glass, but no way I would blow 50% of my budget on Magnepans. Pick a popular model like the 1.6s. I think they go for something like $1700 these days. No way in hell a $1700 frontend, pre, and amp would work with these. I doubt you could find an amp that could drive them for $1700...or do them justice.

I definitely agree about the speakers (and the room) having more of an impact....but the amp/ speaker relation is often just as important.
