bro,
visit at least 10 specialty audio shops within makati, ortigas, QC, pasig areas.
listening to at least 10 demo set ups using a common, very familiar CD or LP of yours.
from then, you have to decide which system you like best and start saving up for it.
just remember 3 (very x 4) important things:
-consider your room size and acoustics
-do not settle for anything less than your 1st pick.
-do not close any deal without home auditioning anything for at least a day.
sorry but there are no straight answers to your questions. we would be depriving you of listening and deciding it for yourself if we will do so.
just to share, ive had 8 speakers before settling for what i have now.
ive had 5 amps before settling for what i have now.
ive had 3 preamps before settling for what i have now.
ive had 3 CD players before settling for what i have now.
and my last purchases were the only ones with thorough home auditioning.
all this happened because i did not do what i have suggested that you do.
enjoy. hope this helps
enjoy the hobby.
