Here's a challenge:a class A sound system for less

You may have heard the finest systems in show rooms or in expos or in a friend's house, those system's that cost well over $50,000. So you know the sound I'm talking about...... But can you get this sound for less? Name the system and components that make up a system that brings the sense of you are there experience but cost much less. Let's set the limit to $10,000. Name the components and speakers and cost, even used prices could be used since the components most likely are available here on agon. Let's see who could come up with the best deal.

Interesting thread. I listen nearfield, and to tell you the truth, I don't know how my system ranks compared to other systems, as I don't have much experience with good audio. I put my system together actually by accident. Meaning locally I found quality items and put them together to make a system. I think I have done pretty well on a very small budget. It sounds great to me anyway, and all of my audio and non audio friends comment on it often. These are the prices I paid and all components have been gone thru if neccesary to bring them up to spec by a local audio guru.

2 McIntosh MC40 tube monoblocks - $600 pr.

Altec Lansing Model 17 604-8G duplex studio monitors- $150 plus a $96 for a new HF voice coil.

Sansui 1000A - used as a preamp- $200

Marantz CC65se CD= $20

Thorens TD160/Linn Basik/ Denon 110 HOMC- $220

Total- $1226

I doubt it would compare well with a 50K system, or even a 10K system. I wouldn't know since I have never heard one. But I think it might surprise a few folks, anyway, I would like to think it would.

Tubes, Altecs and vinyl make me smile.

Nearfield listening is great for me, since my music room is small.
