Looking to build a system for under $5k


Hello,

I am brand new to audio and looking to put a system together for around/under $5k all in. Any recommendations?

This would be mainly for CD audio but expandable for phono in the future. I have a small bedroom that I am dedicating as a music room upstairs in a cape cod style home. So it has angled walls that follow the roof line.

Looking for components that offer the biggest bang for the buck. I've done some research over the last couple of months and it seems like the Vandersteen 1Ci might be a good cornerstone to design a system around.


Thanks,

Joe

Hey Bondmanp, why no mention of the Audio Doctor in Jersey City or Audio Nexus in Summit or CSA Audio in Monclair?

Many years ago I visited CSA Audio and they were a nice dealer heard some Wilsons and Totems.

Was in Summit for a photo shoot and popped into Nexus. 

Have you ever been to the Audio Doctor showroom, very impressive store, huge selection of top high end brands, four sound rooms and the owner is very nice and really knows his stuff.

Went in to Bravo they didn't seem like a high end audio store at all I saw a big home theater there and almost nothing else, do they have some room I was missing?
