dedicated 70's rock system

I want a system dedicated to mostly poorly recorded 70's rock music that can draw me into the music rather than repel me by the inherent edginess etc. when played through many a high end system....the system is to be dedicated to cd reissues only, can be used or new equipment...total system price shall not exceed ten thousand dollars, in a dedicated room roughly 25' x15'...only one special request, the sound must be full at moderate volumes and not just at "rock appropriate" volumes....thank you!

What about the Soundcraftsman equalizer to ameliorate those nasty frequencies? Remember that product? The more bands you got, the cheaper the unit. Somehow, these went out of fashion.

Believe it or not, I lived thru the 70's with a pair of Quad ESLs, tube amp and ARC SP-3a-1 preamp, using a (then cutting edge, no pun) Panasonic SP-10 DD Turntable on a Music & Sound 'plinth.' This system replaced a Phase Linear 700, driving stacked Advents, and definitely made more music, at far lower dbs.
