I would go with a used Music Hall CD25, used PSB Stratus Mini, and an NAD, Rotel, or entry-level Jolida integrated (used or new). Very high bang for the buck.
Good luck,

Helping a friend put together a sub-$1000 system
She's looking for a 2-channel setup with CD as the only source. Speakers will be monitors for a Manhattan apartment.
She listens primarily to more subdued rock and acoustic stuff, with a good amount of jazz and classical music.
She's OK with buying used. I suggested she listen to a NAD C320BEE with Vandersteen speakers as per the recommendations in this thread:

$1000 is the limit. Any suggestions?
