15K system

I (we), finally have decided to purchase a new(er) system by
Jan 1,2003. Currently I have my trusty Acoustat 2+2s, Spectral DMC-10, DMA50(bridged), DMA-200, ARC SP-8(Mk2), ARC
D-115(Mk2), VPI turntable HW-19(Mk1) with Audioquest arm and Van den Hul Mc-10 cartridge. Also, a Resolution CD-50,
CD player. I like the transparency and speed of electrostats, the resolution and smoothness of the Spectral, and the midrange warmth of the ARC. The Resolution
CD gives a wide spacious soundstage and the turntable gives
a very smooth, warm, non-analytical presentation. I mix and match for effect. If everything goes according to plan I will have 15K to spend for: 1.Speakers 2. Pre and Power Amp
3. CD (I will keep the VPI turntable) 4. Cables Personally
I want MG20.1s/Sound Lab M-1s with Aesthetix Callisto Signature with Atmasphere MA-2s, but that ain't going to happen for 15K, used!!! So what available options do I have, new or used for a complete system????? I will consider
box speakers.

If it's tube gear that you are really looking to use to drive your speakers, then contact Von Schweikert for a pair of their new DB100 speakers, a true 100dB loudspeaker especially designed for use with tubes.
Current retail is nearly 10k new, in the standard finish, slightly more for specialist finishes. But hunt around, you may be able to get an ex-demo pair, it will be well worth it, and I doubt whether you will ever submit a posting like this again once getting into the DB100's!
Check out their web site: www.vonschweikert.com
I will leave the subject matter of amps to others, because to be honest, I am a solid-state Krell man myself.
