Best system for ROMANCE

Good suggestions up to now. Here is another one you might like: Start with an integrated amp, the Pathos Classic One($1950). Pathos are very well known for building some of the most romantic sounding amplifiers, and this one doesn't dissapoint.It's a tube/hybrid design that comes with a beautifull wooden remote, you can see it at this site:www.hi-fi-forum.com. For speakers try the Arro from Totem. A beautifull little floorstander, probably one of the best speaker you can get for a thousand dollars (and a good match for the Pathos). Next, the cd player. With this one you're gonna go over budget, but it'll be absolutely worth it... Here's why: You say you like to get it on when you listen to music, well who likes to get up and change the cd when you're in the heat of passion? No one, period. So here is the solution -($1700)Anthem cd1... HDCD, tube output stage and six disc capacity! What more can you ask! With a beautifull system like this, you might not spend enough time looking in your lovers eyes and too much time looking(and listening) at your system!!!

Romantic, warm...sweet, Magnepan MG 1.6Qr, Classe CAP-100 integrated, Wireworld interconnects/speaker wire...and Classe .5 CD player...a lush combination...

Joekras,$10 for a bottle of wine? Sweet heart,I'm worth more than that! Can't anyone do better than Joe? So far the advice is great,you guys are GOOD!!

I've always been fond of the '82 and '88 Lafite Rothschild.. ....but lately the '84, '86 and '87 Montelena Estate Cabernet has been giving more pleasure. Although I must mention that the '92 Dala Valle is a future star....but then there's always vintage Champagne...esp. well stored '85's. Hope this helps.

Conrad Johnson CAV50 or Jolida 302B, Vandersteen 2Ce, Rotel 990 CDP, an old tube tuner, Tara Labs or XLO cable. Jazz from the mid 50's to mid to late 60's. Wine? All of the whites from Louis Jadot are great.
