Need component recommendations for 1,000 system?

Greetings "Makersmark",

This is a challenge, but a fun one though! Let's see what we can come up with right here on AudiogoN (well, besides your CD/DVD/SACD player, almost everything).

Okay, so you already have your sights on an CD/DVD/SACD player. I will take a guess and say that it is the Sony DVP-NS755V | Black Single Disc Progressive Scan DVD/SACD | Save $50! Was $299.99, Now: $249.99 | Plus, get $50 toward Crutchfield gear! | Single-disc player • progressive-scan video output • 108MHz/12-bit video DAC • Precision Cinema Progressive de-interlacer with 3-2 pulldown processing • built-in Dolby Digital/DTS decoder • plays CD-Rs, CD-RWS, Super Audio CDs. From Crutchfield, right?

Now that that's out of the way, let's see what we can find for the rest of your system...

INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER - Cambridge A500
POWER AMP OPTION #1 - Audio Source AMP-2
POWER AMP OPTION #2 - Adcom 535 Mk II
PREAMPLIFIER OPTION - Audcom AP-110

LOUDSPEAKERS - JMlab Chorus 706
SPKR OPTION - Magnepan MMG
Make sure that the amplifier you choose is compatible with the MMGs.
SPKR OPTION - JMlab TANTAL-509
SPKR OPTION - Paradigm Monitor 9
POSSIBLE OPT - Tyler Acoustics TRM

SPEAKER CABLES - D.H. Labs Silver Sonic T-14
Even costs less non-terminated.

INTERCONNECTS - D.H. Labs Silver Sonic BL-1 Series II
POSSIBLE OPT - D.H. Labs Silver Sonic REVELATION

ACCESSORY OPTION - Audience Auric Illuminator

I hope you're having as much fun as I've had helping you put together a $1,000 system!

H a p p y s h o p p i n g !

Best regards,

I just wanted to thank everyone for their thoughtful recommendations. You've really given me a great deal to think about. I especially want to thank Donald at W Enterprises Northwest for all the work he put into his recommmendation. Anyone looking for a good dealer couldn't go wrong with Donald. I would also like to thank Celestial Audio for e-mailing me with a very generous offer. Another great dealer. I'll be sure to let everyone know what I decide.
Maybe a good thread to start would be for everybody to tell about their good experience with a dealer. After my experience here with two great guys I'm sure others have had similar experiences. Thanks again.

Go NAD amps and used infinity speakers , with samsung or sony any japan stuff , I lived with it for 6 yrs. but Im A musicion, (violin)

set of Klipsch speakers in box for sale....all five (front, center, right, surrounds)...these babies only need 30 really good watts to bring the roof down..great value

Here's a real low cost system. Speakers: order from Parts Express and build your own from Kits. Power: NAD. DVD: whatever but get a Scott Nixon DAC. Interconnects: Radio Shack,catch your breath, yes, Radio Shack. Speaker Cable: Monster. Get a Tripp Lite Line conditioner. Spend any leftover money on Music.
Remember, it's the Music, not the machine, that's important.
