In Reply to: Starting from scratch which piece of the system do you put in place first? posted by ppopp on December 2, 2016 at 14:01:29:
I believe that the amp/speaker interface is the critical match to making or breaking a system. Listen to as many combinations as you can, and determine what sounds best to you, then try to replicate it.
You can have great sound with high efficiency speakers and flea powered tube amps, and you can also have great sound with inefficient speakers and high powered SS amps. There is also a lot of terrible mismatches out there. So I recommend that you do a lot of listening, and try to find the combination of amp/speakers that work best for you as a place to start.
