I am looking at buying a new amp, but I don't know what to buy. My current gear is SX-950/LCD-2 and SRM-T1/SR-507. My ultimate goal is BHSE and 007/009. I also want a dynamic rig, but not a ton of amps. I will likely keep the SX because it also powers speakers, one other dynamic amp, and a stat amp.
The Stat amp will either be the BHSE or WES, but I am heavily leaning towards the BHSE. On the Dynamic side I was thinking Audio-gd Phoenix, but I starting to push that idea aside. Now I am thinking 4 board Beta 22.
So, I have some money coming in from a business I ventured in a few years back. I start school in 2 months and will have no income past that point. If I add up what I have, what I expect to make before I quit, the investment profit, and take out bills for the next two years, I have maybe $7000. It wouldn't be a horrible idea if I just put it into my savings account in case my car breaks before I graduate, which is a possibility.
The question is, what to do with the money. I can buy a BHSE, and maybe an O2. That would bust my budget, leaving very little in the way of a cushion. I will also have student loans, so I could use those if I needed, but I hate owing money, so I rather it just sit it in my savings account untouched.
I could also buy a KGSS and 02, and put a little in the bank. My issue with that plan is that I will be buying the KGSS, knowing I will sell it in a few years.
I could buy a Beta 22, and maybe a second set of dynamics. K1K is an idea, and put the rest in the bank.
I could also buy the Beta 22 and KGSS. I don't know if the KGSS will provide a large improvement over the T1 with only the Lambdas.
What would you do if you were in this position. If you have a different idea I didn't mention, I would also like to hear it.
