Audio Source amps? Crappy?

You can do much better on both accounts.

Any suggestions for a good entry level audiophile system?

For electronics: Denon, Onkyo, Adcom, Parasound, Creek, B&K, NAD, Musical Fidelity, Jolida. Speakers: B&W, PSB, Paradigm, Mission, Triangle. Wire: Audioquest, Kimber, StraightWire, MIT. These will all put you in a good budget system. Most important thing to remember; synergy, how components complement(or don't) each other. Sorry to those not at the top of my head right at this moment.

Good suggestions above, to which I'd add Rotel for electronics and Markertek for budget wire.
