I have read numerous posts regarding the relative importance of speaker quality vs other components in a system. Quite a few audiophiles out there believe speakers are the most important link and therefore should constitute the biggest expenditure. It seems to me that your source would be the most important given it’s the origin point. Speakers should faithfully reproduce the signal originating from the source, via the amplifier. My personal experiences seem to support this notion. Of course, any system is only as good as its weakest link, but I am curious why so many seem to subscribe to this belief. Interested in your thoughts.
Just to level set here. It’s not my intention to persuade anyone on this forum. I am sharing my thoughts and experiences and am interested in hearing if anyone has actual firsthand experience that would support the belief that speakers are most important. I am not interested in dogma, but actual experiences that might cause me to change my mind. I never assume I have the correct mindset and enjoy hearing thoughtful and informed opinions.
