Building a System on a Budget?

Under $3,000

Start with bookshelf speakers under $1,000, an integrated amp under $2,000, and a source. For vinyl: turntable under $1,000 + phono preamp under $1,000. For streaming: streamer under $1,000.

Under $5,000

Move to speakers in the $1K-$2K range or entry floorstanders, a quality integrated, and invest in your preferred source.

Under $10,000

Components stop compromising here. Floorstanding speakers under $5,000, a premium integrated $2K-$5K, and a serious streamer or turntable.

Over $10,000

This is where separates shine. Pair floorstanding speakers $5K-$10K with a premium integrated or dedicated power amp. Add a reference turntable or audiophile streamer and a capable subwoofer.
