Need Help


I am new to the Audio world and need advice as I am as confused as ever.  I am wanting an all in one receiver that I can listen to my downloaded / streamed music / turntable and one that will hook into my TV.  I will be running 2 tower speakers and a Sub.  I have set myself a budget of $3000.00 and I am very open to the used market and to be honest I like some of the vintage stuff anyway.  I know that my budget is low and probably insulting to some but its what I have at the time and I plan on adding / up grading as I go. I love the looks of the Marantz, Adcom and Cambridge as far as receivers.  The speakers I am lost as there are so many to choose from.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all.

Since you are starting out, and don't know what speaker you like, I would recommend going to as many dealers as you can.
Just listen. Eventually, you'll find a speaker that 'sounds right' to your ears. Don't be afraid to audition above your budget. It just lets you see what can be done in a 'perfect' world.
The knowledge you gain will be something you can use for the rest of your life.
Once you have decided what speakers you want, then focus on the integrated amp and sources. Though after all this, I think you'll be looking at separates.-Hifi can be alot like Mr. Blanding's Dream House.
Just my 2 or 3 cents...
