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

I agree with paraneer. There is nothing wrong with asking for recommendations, however it would be best to narrow your focus first. This like asking, my budget is $, what car should I buy? Then before recommendations, questions should be asked. Soft ride or firm ride, more performance or better fuel mileage? Do you have any dealers within a reasonable distance to visit?
