    Here is what I did:

    • Speakers: Dynaudio Heritage Specials - $7,000
    • Amplification: Exposure 3510 Pre/Pro - $4,500
    • Rega Fono MM - $500
    • Rega P3 50th Anniversary Turntable - $1,700
    • iFi Zen One Signature DAC - $350
    • WiiM Pro Streamer - $150
    • Assorted cables from SVS and Amazon - -$400
    • West Elm TV Console - $2,500

    So total system outlay: $17,100.

    • Speakers: 41 Percent
    • Amps: 29 Percent
    • Sources: 13 Percent
    • Furniture and Accessories: 17 Percent

    Of course now I’m also spending on Apple Music and Spotify and a whole lot on Vinyl. I haven’t had to spend much on room treatments because of the way the room is configured and our furniture and rugs and ceiling height. I consider this a pretty mid-Fi system and it sounds absolutely phenomenal. One day I’ll upgrade the DAC, maybe the streamer, and eventually my power system. The speakers I hope to use forever.
