I have been sniffing around the second hand market for some time now and I have found a few options for a speaker system
I already have my eyes on a streamer and a dac (ifi zen dac signature v2 and ifi zen streamer), I just need to figure out what speaker and integrated amp / power amp I should get. (I already have a meh preamp that does everything I'll need from him)
my options for speakers are: sonus faber liuto monitor for 1600 usd, elac carina bs 243.4 for 700 usd, mistral sag 500 (I need an opinion about them cause they seem weird and also sold on AliExpress which I think is a red flag) for 1500 usd, sonus faber sonetto 1 for 1500 usd, sonus faber concerto monitor for 1200 usd, elac uni-fi ubr62 for 650, kef ls50 for 1000 usd.
the amps I get to choose from are: hegel h1 for 600 usd, roksan ka-1 mk3 for 600 usd primare i22 integrated for 850 usd, roksan caspian power amp for 700 usd, an upgraded quad 405-2 with balanced inputs for 700 usd, vincent sp331 for 800 usd, Electrocompaniet Ampliwire II for 950 usd, mcintosh mc7100 mk2 (with balanced inputs) for 950 usd.
I have 2400 usd to spend on a speaker and an amp out of these options. what should I get?
(I think that the sonus faber liuto monitor and the hegel h1 or the mcintosh mc7100 would be a good option)
