[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 896300, member: 1447"] dont you mean 10 left over for cables? but yep i reckon that 30% for amplification and then 30% for source (even if its some type of PC device with a DAC) and then 30% for speakers with the remaining 10% for cables and other accessories for example like power conditioners or power regulators etc all of these ratios would go out of the window if you have a mix of new and second hand equipment though .... those ratios will only give a balanced system if you look at brand new pricing .... getting clearance bargains or second hand equipment will change those ratios big time and once again to provide an example, i once managed to get some Dali Ikon speakers on clearance because of the introduction of a new range for almost 1/3rd their regular selling price but i had to then sell them off way quicker than i would have liked, because i could never afford amplification for those that would justify having them because all the amplification i could afford in those days was either too weak (in terms of power output) or not of adequate quality [/QUOTE]
