"and unplugged during storms." per Rob I learned that one the hard way!

Welcome DaveyDick. I shut it all down-elec bill,power surges,heat, subs, ect. Kick back and enjoy the music.

I had a budget just like yours and about 10 years ago spent 6 months auditioning speakers at stores and peoples houses that were on some of the forums I belonged to before I found a set I liked. Took a set of three CD's with some music I was very familiar with to all of them. Listened for width of sound stage,placement of instruments and vocals, details and decay of instruments ect. I even took my amp with me when I had it settled down to the last 4 or so. Thing is I found it's your ears and taste and what some think sounds great I did not even like and some others thought were not so good I found sounded very good. Ended up with a set of B&W 705's I still have. Built a set of the CF15 speakers that I also found that I liked with my turntable system when paired with a M500t MKII but now I have room for only one set so the CF15's and a set of floor tower Wharfdales are in storage and the B&W's do it all. Spend at least half of what your system is worth on speakers you like then quit chasing the equipment and just enjoy the music.

Welcome!!
