2 channel setup


Hello,

I am in the process of planning out my first 2-channel setup.  I already purchased a used Rogue Audio Metis preamp and will need a power amp, turntable, and I am contemplating a music streamer.  I am pretty sure that I am going to go with Paradigm Prestige 85f speakers.  

Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.  I would like to come in under 10k so I am looking for some good deals if you know of any!  

thanks,
Roland

IMO, I would not even consider thinking too much about cabling yet. Just get decent copper cables all throughout to start with. The most important thing to consider at your stage is deciding which speakers you like, then getting a proper/capable amp for them, and setting them up correctly. Then some basic room treatments.
Then begin evaluating your system - do you still like your speakers? Still like your preamp and amp?
Trying to evaluate different cables prior to this point is pointless. Once all of the above is met, then go buy a ticket for the cable merry-go-round and have fun.
