i dont want to let money be an issue, but it is. im ok with a delay between component purchases so that means i dont want to get substandard equipment, and i can save and build. currently my listening room is 10x20. fairly small but it is also not permanent. and in case you have not noticed, my knowledge on these issues is in the extreme elementary range, so please bear with my shortcomings. my habits are searching for the mid priced components. something of high quality, without going insane. and i lsten to music form classical to hip hop.
