Budget: $ 2,000

This is my first audio system. With more then 30 hours into the speakers and love it. However I think that my Focal can sound better. I am new in the audio business, therefore needed help. As you can see I used the cheap RadioShack speaker wires ($8) to connect my 4K speakers and drove it with a 400 receiver, and I use my MacBook Pro as my source for music. I have to work on a tight budget, therefore I spent more then speaker and will work later. I look forward to hear every suggestion and advice. Thank you for Looking. So far I like the sound and very pleased that when with the Focal rather then the B&W 683.

Thank you for your suggestion(s)

Ken.

Hi Ken

Welcome to the group...I think you did the right thing by going for speakers to grow with...using a MAC as source is not uncommon and can be made great...I assume your files are lossless and therefore all you would need is a DAC to take the information and translate the digital signal to analog in a quality manor. Look at Benchmark's DAC1 for around $1k. Also, a used integrated of good quality would work...I'd wait to get a little more dough together in order to do your speakers justice.

Just some thoughts...
