...which really highlights my (and I suspect many others) dilemma! There are sooooo many variables. Given you have chosen what is hopefully a well made and complimentary set of components for your system, it seems almost 'Black Art' to many of us as to what to do about mains.
It seems to me that decisions on this tend to fall into four main camps -
On the one hand some will just go for the very best they can afford based on forum or media reviews, and are likely not to really understand (or maybe care) if the choice is the optimum or the best for their particular combination and mains status.
Another set of people will exclusively follow the advice of their component suppliers opinion (or need to make more profit - (Cynical, I know!))
The the third set, will spend what seems to me, an inordinate amount of time trying lots of different variations before settling on a combination that sounds to them to be the pinnacle of what is on offer, but this requires a certain amount of dedication, and some understanding of the theory involved.
And lastly the forth, will just go with what is 'in-the-box'.
I suppose it all boils down to -'Whatever floats your Boat!'
