Is "live" music sound possible for under $1K


I primarily liston piano, chamber and opera. I was wondering if anyone had experience producing a realistinc presentation for about $1K not including the source? My listening room is 14 x 20 X 8. I thought this could be accomplished by an inexpensive tube pre-amp ($200-300) and older vintage amp such as a Pioneer Spec 4 or Yamaha approx $300, and possibly some older klipsh's (KG-4) or newer Axiom's M22ti's approx $400. Am I on the right track? Has anyone been able to accomplish this? Any recommendations for any of the 3 items?

Just my opinion madfab200, but I don't believe true "live" music sound can be achieved at 100 times that amount! I have a pretty good system, worth more than I care to admit, and it's not even close to live piano in a room.

That said, however, the real issue for me is whether or not a system can bring me great musical satisfaction...now that's a goal I'm more likely to achieve!

I do believe that you can purchase a system used on the 'gon for $1,000 that can give you pleasure when you listen to your favorite music. That's really what this hobby's about!
