Did a very simple, non-scientific test to determine the efficiency of a classic A/B type amp (Nubert Amp A. 2*540 W 4 Ohm (0,5% THD+N) and a Audiophonics NCore NC2050 MP 2*250 W 4 Ohm THD=1%.
Speakers: Nubert Nuvero 140 440W/600W

Audiophonics Streamer/DAC with integrated RPi4 (runs all kinds of streaming software) around €500
Audiophonics power amp provides ample power to drive any kind of reasonably designed speaker € 800
leaves you with about 1500€ for speakers like
Nubert Nuboxx for around 1000 €
