Hi All,
Couple month lurker, 1st time poster.
I'm looking for suggestions/advice on my system upgrade. I started out with the SMSL AD18 and a pair of Micca RB42s (Z-review's recommendations). I recently added a Fluance RT82 and Schiit Sys/Mani phono pre and I have a cheap $10 DAC from Amazon to convert toslink from my TV. Eventually, my system will be as of plans now...
TV (Samsung Frame) toslink out. This is the streamer if I want one.
A bunch of Schiit -- Mani (phono pre), Saga+ (preamp), Vidar (power amp), Modi (DAC) and maybe the Sys to keep the kids from blowing the speakers.
Fluance TT
Emotiva Airmotiv SE8 (or 12 on a deal) Subwoofer
ELAC Debut Reference DBR62 (though this depends on how they sound)
Questions:
- Obviously, love suggestions on the above components/replacements.
- What should my upgrade path look like? (Thinking Sub/DAC, Speakers, Pre, Power Amp)
- I realize I'm breaking the rule of spending more on components than speakers, but I think this nicely leaves the path open. The pair that I really want to hear are the Ohm Walsh XK series. My space would need the Walsh 3000s. Thoughts?
- Speaking of which, the room is big. Like 4000 ft^3 big. Advice?
Considerations/Comments:
- I love how the Schiit looks and I keep looking for something different and coming back to their value and features. I have the Hel on my desk and I love it.
- I like the idea of separate components to maximize upgrades opportunities/upgrade the setup as I go.
- Kids (5 & 2)
- I want a pre with a remote. I've been eyeballing this but no idea how it sounds: https://www.amazon.com/AIYIMA-T8-Pr...e+amp+preamp+dac+remote&qid=1632176023&sr=8-3
