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

So you are in WA.?
You may wan to look up Chapman Audio. Stuart Chapman Jones and family are on Vashon Island, in the sound, and have been making top notch speakers for decades. He is very friendly and will have you for a visit in the listening facility.. 
Also, a trip to Ferndale, to visit Lou with Daedalus Audio would be top on my list, as well, for speakers in your area. Lou is one of the friendliest in the business. Both are very very good and you get more performance than you pay for going direct with these two.

But I do also love Devore and am personally looking forward to hearing the Gibbon X again...
