Thanks for replying.I did not start this thread in bad faith, but I am just as happy to use it to prove a point!
As I said to myself the first time I tried conducting a (youth) orchestra--this isn't as easy as it looks!!!!!
Yes, I am sure that those pieces are good, and good together--but we are in the price range ST and I have often covered, where you take an amp a little over $1,000 and speakers a little over $1,000, and oh, this CDP really makes a difference, and even with modest cables and wires...
WHADDYA MEAN, $3,000 FOR A STEREO! I CAN GET A WHOLE FREAKIN' HOME THEATER INCLUDING TV FROM CRUTCHFIELD FOR $1995!
Again, I am not trying to be nyaa-nyaa about this, and I hope that I do discover a speaker with natural tonal balance and some dynamics and bass extension for $500, and a great integrated amp for $300, etc. but it isn't that easy.
If I could have come up with a system that would play music with fidelity and not just be some increment over the Best Buy system, at a price under $2,500, I would have had a system under $2,500 the last time I did a system roundup. I couldn't so I didn't.
Cheerio,
John Marks
