Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening

I'm reeducating myself.... after years of no TT and focusing on just stereo listening.. I had a some early Klipsch Hersey’s and some GENESIS speakers pair with Yamaha receiver and low end turntable 30-40 years ago -- I can afford a higher end setup this days -- so what are thoughts on pairing a luxman l-550axII with Klipsch cornwalls?

I like the Herseys for music in the day.. cornwalls seem to be larger herseys but may well need audtion some of the tower types folks seem to tout..

I still thinking on TT -- but may get a VPI scout or prime -- thinking through the cartridge choices and other things is still a serious education -- recc?

music taster are varied -- jazz to singer vocalist miles davis - linda Ronstadt and a host of others for vocal musics and instruments- soft rock of the 70-80s- to some classical

thoughts -- looking to 15-20K for the refit for stereo listening - but could stretch some if I like the setup

Hey if you like retro, look at what noromance has suggested.
Line Magnetic Audio have based much of the design and engineering of the audio line on old Western Electric designs. I have the LM Audio 216ia, little push/pull tube amp. Point to point wiring and LM Audio's bigger amps are FANTASTIC. Pair them with a VPI or the Shinola Runwell turntable and you have a great retro system. Of course, McIntosh always has retro looking stuff and is very good.
