Buying equipment

Ok, I've been looking online to put together a system and man is it frustraring. I live in rural wyoming and cannot go to a stereo store. So I will need to buy online.

None of the companies sell their components online, they only refer me to a dealer. Then even on the dealer's sites there are very few photos and again no prices. I did find 6moons' site, but it is tedious clicking through reviews to get to the bottom and find out its $45,000.

Amazon doesn't have much that is interesting- I want something unique and all that I would have access to is Sonos, Focal, 'Bird', marantz, and yamaha. Fleawatt is done building for the year and that seems to be it.

I'm looking for a tight little system that will fill the living room of a one bedroom apartment with hardwood floors.

I want something that will play standard CD's and one that I can eventually hook up a Pro-ject turntable to.

Any help of how to find a system to buy?

Thanks,
S.

Swarthy, yes, I appreciate that going to Wyoming in summer months to enjoy the mountains is quite different than living there year around.

Analogous to going to an audio dealership and listening to gear and living with same at home.

An appreciation can be gained, however not the final analysis.

Good luck in your quest!

Swarthy, I love Wyoming! Bear Tooth range, Tetons, Wind River all great!

I did not find where you state your budget. However Music Direct is a good choice. Also Audio Advisor.

I would buy an integrated amplifier with built in phonostage, a quality CD player, and a set of monitor speakers. Without knowing your budget it is difficult to allocate funds to these components. What is budget? Are you willing to buy used?
