Can you explain how a budget should be divided between various parts of a system at different price points and how this has changed over time? For example, if someone has a $7,000 budget, what percentage should be spent on speakers, amplification, source, and cables? What were the percentages in 1980? What are the percentages if the budget is increased to $30,000? These percentages must change with budget, technological advancement, and the type of system being put together.That said, I don't understand why a $1,500 amp couldn't work fine with $10,000 speakers. There are bound to be instances where a $10,000 pair of speakers is fairly easy to drive and doesn't sound all that much better with more expensive amplification. It's a lot easier to understand how the $10,000 speakers driven by a $20,000 amp with $5,000 worth of cable would be more profitable, though. I find it hard to put this out of my mind when dealers start talking synergy.
