[QUOTE="Nidri, post: 1188261, member: 1342"] Over time I've really changed my view on this. But as of today: If I had R100K to buy a stereo amp and speakers ([I]assuming a separate budget for everything else[/I]), I would definitely invest much more in the speakers. The ratio would probably be something like 80:20 If the speakers are relatively easy to drive with a friendly impedance curve, a simple, high-quality Class AB amp with moderate power would be sufficient. Brands like [I]Atoll[/I], [I]Rega[/I], [I]Edwards Audio[/I] and [I]Audio van Alstine[/I] are really good at making these kinds of simple, affordable amps (with basic enclosures). Presumably from a DIY POV you could achieve similar results via [I]Neurochrome[/I] kits or other avenues. With that bigger speaker budget you can then really shoot for the stars. But that's just my 2c [/QUOTE]
