Best beginner system about 5,000.00


Hello all,
Im new to this site but have been an avid "stereo" guys for years. I love all music ( except rap, hip hop etc ) but my main go to is ckassic rock. I currently have a Dennon x1000 for my jome system since i use this for both music and movies, tv etc.
I want to put together a dedicated music system soon. I really like the look and sound of some of the 70's amps and receivers but considering the price of most vintage units currently on the market, i am looking at going with maybe a tube amp, turntable and tuner separates along with speakers if course.
I would like to keep the cost around 5,000.00-6,000.00 for all. 
Can anyone recommend  a set up in that cost range. 
I prefer sq over volume but still like it a "little" loud ;-)
After all it is rock & roll.
Thanks for all of your considerations.

Op there are many possible systems to recommend but without knowing critical data it is hard to advise you:

1: How big is your room?
2: Do you value clarity such as the ability to hear small details important or is smoothness  more of an issue? Most clear sounding systems may be a bit more fatiguing.
3: Is the size and look of the speakers important or not?
4: Would you prefer to purchase used which can save some money but due to the ever changing variability of the market may make getting a system very difficult as you can not actually hear anything.
