Simplest Audiophile Streaming Setup for Under $10,000
I am a middle-aged jazz lover that has listened though Apple Music exclusively for over 15 years on a B&W A7s all-in-ones. I am now ready to get something higher-end. I have two listening areas I want to finally set up with high-quality components. The smaller one I have set up already with a Cambridge Evo One, which I love. The larger area is about 300 sq ft, and I’d like to get a simple, end-game streaming amp set up with a $10,000 budget with either bookshelf or smaller floorstand speakers that would be excellent for acoustic jazz listening. Full disclosure, I recently auditioned KEF R3 speakers with a Cambridge Evo 150 and found the R3s to be impressive but too clinical and a little harsh for my ears. Loved the amp though and see they have a 300 out now. I am wary of active speakers because I auditioned KEF LSX IIs, and they kept dropping out on me. Located in Minnesota, U.S. Please help me out. What various setups would you recommend and why?
