The best system I've heard for $2000 was:
Totem Arro speakers
Jolida 302b integrated amp
Music Hall CD-25 CD player
All components worked beautifully with one another, and the imaging was like no other that I've heard (and I've heard systems at several multiples of that price). In fact, I acquired all of those items, and still have two of them (the 302b and the CD player) after all these years.
If you have a relatively small room, especially for the 2nd system, this is a combination that works.
