I was reading the cd player thread a few bellow this one (at the time of posting) and it got me thinking in what order do you believe products should be bought relative to their importancee and effect on music.

Will limit it to only stereo music forget all that home theater would bring into the subject.

speakers would obviously be 1
after that though it could get a little fuzzy
where would you put a sub
would you take money away from you receiver to get a better cd player
or would you take money from the cd player fund to put toward seperate components
how about wiring?

just curious to see what people thought.

Personally i spent the most on my speakers then my receiver and sub and then my cd/dvd player and wiring. If I had the money I would move to an amp preamp system but I don't at the moment but when I do obviously this would change the hierarchy

I guess to make a long question short which products to you feel have the biggest affect on the music we hear?

just a thought you can also spend some money on calibration you can include that too if you felt like it

This was also spurred by the affect cd players can hve on music which I hve yet to take into real account
