Looking for suggestions for me new analog system


Hello All,

After a prolonged hiatus from listening to records due to a serious accident and personal turmoil that forced me to sell all my records and my system, I am slowly getting ready to build a new system and start collecting records again. My budget as well as my listening room are both now larger, which is a welcome change, but the challenge and having to start from scratch are daunting.

My old system consisted of the VPI Classic turntable with the Lyra Delos cartridge, RCM Sensor 2 phono preamp, Rogue Audio M180 tube monoblocks and 99 Magnum tube preamp, and Silverline Audio SR-17 speakers. The only component I have kept is the Sensor phono preamp. My current room is 17x15.

I would kindly ask for your recommendations for speakers around $10k give or take a few grand either way. Also, the turntable around the same price without the cartridge. Not sure about the amplification. I think I’d like to stay with tubed amps, but I’m open to solid state. My musical tastes are 50% classic jazz and roughly 50% classic rock.

Thank you very much,

Marek

There is pair of Silverline Boleros on HiFi Shark for sale for $4900. Since you had the 17's I presume you a familiar with, or at least heard about them. They are not mine! which are not for sale. Not only do they sound great but are easy to drive (I use small low power tube amps).
