Hey all, ASR newbie here, and I'm SO glad I found you all. I was about to spend like $40K on amps and $20K on speakers, on top of the $15K I already spent on my DAC.
And it's taken basically 48 hours for me to realize I should put that amp money into a full Genelec SAM™ setup instead. I'm looking to do 1) 3 x Left, right, and center 8361A SAM Monitors, 2 x W371A SAM Woofers, and 2 x 7380A SAM subs—of course all working together as one system using GLM software optimization.
(takes deep breath)
I am eternally thankful to this forum for showing me the world of active speakers before I spent a ton of money on what's basically a rich person's hobby of swapping amps and speakers constantly. No thanks. I'd rather listen to music and enjoy media rather than obsess over the equipment.
Now, I have a couple of newb questions:

Now, I have a couple of newb questions:
- Do I put my DAC and AV gear into a preamp and connect all the Genelec speakers to the AV gear?
- Or should I just go directly from the DAC to the AV preprocessor and amp (I was thinking of doing the Storm stuff).
