for a total of 5000$ for used equip.

I'm trying to put together a complete simple audio system for 5000$ or under. I'm open to both seperates and integrated, single cd and I've heard the soliloquy 6.2's and the amphion creon's and a few others...I liked the two speakers very much! What I have in my head right now is a modded music hall cd25 with either the jolida 1000a integrated or the jolida tube preamp with the sunfire 250w ss, along with either one of those speakers. I want the sound to be seductive with airy highs and serious punch in the low end. All types of music listned to, please, all suggestions wanted.

"Sean34":

For a $5K audio system using only used equipment and all, here is what my $5K system would look like.

Speaker System: Vandersteen 2Ce -- About $1,000.00 (or less...... used).
Power Amplifier: McCormack "Power-Drive" DNA-0.5 -- About $800 (for Original Version) to $1,200.00 (for Special Edition)(used).
Preamplifer: McCormack TLC-1 Line Stage -- About $750.00 (used).
Compact Disc Player: Sony SCD-777ES -- About $1,500.00 (used).
Cables: MITerminator 2 Interconnects and Bi-Wired Speaker Cable -- About $285.00 (used).

For a total of just a little over $4,700.00, you'll have a system that rocks right with the best of them, and at a fraction of the cost. With almost $300.00 left (after going with the more expensive option), you can still opt for stands for brand new stands for the Vandersteens and still have some money left over to buy some music with it.

Regards and Happy Listening (but good luck shopping, though)!!!!!!
