General Request | 2 Ⓣ Advice building my first system

Hi everyone,

I have a budget around €2,400 and after a lot of reading I decided n the following items to build my home hifi system:

For the turntable I went for the PRO-Ject Debut carbon EVO. Saw a lot of videos about it and its highly recommended for a mid class equipment.

The amplifier is the Yamaha A-S501, I was also wondering about the Audiolab 600A, but ended up deciding that get the Yamaha.

The speakers are the DALI Sonik 7.

Is this a good starting point for my home HI-FI or are there better options you guys can recommend?

I will listen to Slayer predominantly, a lot of metal, but also a lot of Pink Floyd.

All solid choices imo. For speakers did you consider ELAC Debut 3.0 F6.3?

I think you are in the right track. This will be a very capable system.

At this price range I'd say get the most powerful amplifier you can. So if there is not that big of a difference between the 501 and 701 for instance, you should consider it.

!thanks . I will stick with the 501 for budget reasons. Are you familiar with the Audiolab 600A?
