What Comes First????

Realistically, I doubt that most people have the space, financial resources, or perhaps most importantly, a sufficiently understanding spouse to create multiple quality systems for different types of music. We all have to make compromises according to those characteristics we value most highly. Such is life.

That may be true for some. A good speaker should be able to play any genre. I have really met no one who went into the hobby looking to build a system for each type of music they enjoy.

I have to admit if room and money I would probably have more than one system based on different presentation.
 
Is this even a legit question? Speakers seems to be the answer of the majority but I still feel it's a flawed approach if really the narrow approach.

For example, I do my search and really want Magico. Then I go on the hunt for electronics to drive them but I want tubes only tubes. There may be a tube amp to drive them but choice will be narrow in my opinion and I personally wouldn't even use tubes with those speakers.

I suggest no matter what you say other factors of the system have to at least be in the back of your mind.
Yes, there are good entry level electronics these days but does that mean to never go further? Sticking with Magico, who spends that type of money just to drive them with a Wiim? The Wiim will sound it's best but those Magico NEVER will.

Sticking with these old beliefs and parroted mantra is what keep so many on the merry-go-round. You follow without logic and find you've made a mistake in the real world application.
 
My current system breaks down into the following $ percentages, not that I planned it that way. It's just what it is.

CD transport & DAC: 20%
Integrated amp: 20%
Speakers & subs: 35%
wires: 25%

I'm probably a little heavy on the wires but I liked them. They'll stay while I make upgrades to the rest in the future.
