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.

Well you are asking this question on the premier site for used equipment.
Do some research on used prices, pick a few items from sellers with solid feedback, negotiate a sale and listen.

I'm not making any specific suggestions as that is too wide open. And more importantly, our musical tastes are matching up real well.

Here ya go, Resolution Audio Opus 21 system.

This little system will do a lot for you. All you need are speakers. It has a nice phono stage for your turntable as well as a built in dac for your computer audio. Nice headphone out also so you won't need that extra amp.

It was well reviewed on 6moons BTW.

I don't know the seller or how well priced this one is. I did not pay anywhere near this price for mine.
