I think the Harbeth/NAD recommendation is a good one. --Though a few of these components have recently sold, I thought the Moth Audio 2A3 integrated (1100), Soliloquy 2A3 monitors (500), and a Rega Planet 2000 CDP (500) would have been a nice combination in the world of tubes. That would still have left 400 for interconnects and speaker wire. DH Labs BL-1 interconnects and Q10 biwire speaker cables would stay within that range quite easily.
create a system for 2K
I have between $2-2.5k to assemble a system (can be used equipment) for a very good friend.
He is a musician and listens to small jazz ensembles and alot of world music.
He wants a simple 2-channel set-up w/cdp only at this point to go in a medium (22x14) sized room.
I'm looking for suggestions for a complete set-up including all cable and other important tweeks, if they are essential to the system- I'm looking for players who play particularly well together- a million thanks-
