Basement system for $5000 or less

I am interested in putting together a dedicated audio system for a 14 x 13 x 8 finished basement room. I would like to use all tube-based gear, if possible, and I would be listening primarily to jazz with occasional classical and rock. I would like some recommendations for the following:
1. Preamp (tubes)
2. Amp (tubes)
3. CD player
4. Speakers
I am willing to buy used, and would like to keep the total price less than $5000. Recommend to your hearts content!
Thanks,
Dave

Does anyone know of dealers for Totem Acoustics, Jolida, and Vandersteen in Illinois (central Illinois preferably)? Again, thanks for all the advice.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. Ultimately, I went with the following setup:
1. Rogue Cronus integrated
2. Dynaudio Focus 220 speakers
3. Rega Apollo CDP
4. Project XPression turntable which I had before
5. Cobalt Cables speaker cables/interconnects
Overall, I could not be more happy with the results thus far. Again, thanks for all of your help.
