I have budgeted a maximum of $2000 (the lower the better
) for a pair of floor-standing speakers and a receiver/amplifier. I would rather invest in a higher fidelity amplifier than a receiver.
My primary purpose behind the purchase is to listen to music, not to build a home theater system. I heard a beautiful Vienna Acoustics Baby Beethoven setup driven by a McIntosh amp and would love to own the same but for the price
Would love suggestions for speakers and amps that can produce the same sound but within my budget.
Some speakers I have been mulling over
* Martin Logan Preface speakers
* Vienna Acoustics Schonberg
* Can I find similar sound in JBL, Polk, and other less expensive brands?
Amps - ???
Thanks in advance for your help!
