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

Hi Joe,
I started long time ago with a Rega products (Brio amp & EL8 speakerd) and I still have them up to today.  And plus if you are thinking buying LP in the future, they have very good LP player at reasonable price comparison to different brands. For a CD player I would think about an universal player like OPPO. But first, you should look for an specialized audio store around your area and listen to different brands and combination to educate your ears. All our recommendations are subjectives. The best system is the one that makes you tape your feet. Do not waste your time in big box stores. 5k$ is a very good buget.
