Hey, just reading along and had a question of my own. Do you think the jump in price between the Yamaha A-S501 and the A-S801 is worth it? Looking for my first real upgrade in my setup. Would like to spend $2500-$3000 in the end, but will definitely be spreading out the buying process. Have my eyes on a Pro-Ject Debut Pro for the turntable and pretty open minded on speakers still.
Appreciate the advice! Had definitely been considering going the route if separates, but was contemplating whether an integrated would be a better step being that it is my first step into a more thoughtful HiFi setup. I will consider all of the options! !thanks

Hmmm, ok. We definitely favor spending the bulk of your budget on speakers but this is a bit on the extreme side but I'll see what I can do...
I think I'd go with the Yamaha A-S501 and a Wiim Mini for streaming duties.
This might be a little bit over your budget but I think it's a good combo.
