I thought that maybe we could help newbees who come here and want advice on building their first audiophile system. Here are the parameters: try and keep the whole system under $5K and it should consist of CD player/amp-preamp and speakers.
Here is my recommendation:
Amp-Rotel 1062 SLP ($699)
Speakers-Excite X16 ($1800)
Marantz 8003 SACD CD Player ($999)
Now keep in mind that one has to listen before deciding if the system sounds good to them. I also recommend for bigger spaces the Paradigm Studio 100's which are priced way below comparable speakers according to review here.
