New Speakers/Amps


Hey Folks

New to Audigon and a noob at speakers/amps! All i have is a decent ear for sound!

So, I am looking to set up a very basic system with 2 speakers, sub and an amp. I will be using it purely for listening to music thru an iPod or maybe a record player and occasionally use it for house parties.

Could u please advise me on what i can realistically get for my budget?

Speakers- 1000-1300 $
Sub- 500 $
Amp- 500-800 $

Thanks in advance and best regards,
raj

Thanks so much for all your inputs.

This will help me get started on setting up my first system. However, a few more questions...

I started researching right away from the first thread and realized the +ive reviews on NAD and am inclined to pick up a preowned one. Ive also found a few dealers here in Plano, TX (DFW) that carry NAD and plan to visit them soon. Some of the speakers that i can hear at the dealer's location are-

Magnepan, PSB, PMC, ProAc, Monitor Audio, GoldenEar, Linn, Speakercraft & Epicure. Ive not listed a few as they are a gazillion bucks! :)

Any thoughts on the above speakers? I forgot to mention in my initial post that i am looking for floor standing speakers only and the system will be set up in my living room area, which is a large area with 20 ft ceilings.

Vandersteen has great reviews but no dealership here to demo.

Thx again for the advice and look forward to more...
