Office system


I am thinking about adding an office system that would use vintage amp and preamp along with a vintage tuner and hopefully vintage speakers for nostalgia reasons. Cost under $2000, visual of the system is important as well as sonics. All ideas are welcome as I am not familar with many of the vintage products.

If you don't know much about vintage electronics and having a FUNCTIONAL system is important you may want to go with modern versions of vintage equipment. If it is just going to sit there and look pretty you can get anything.

I would recomend Jolida or Antique Sound Labs integrated amp.

Vintage solid state tuners shouldn't give you too many problems. I love my Accuphase T-100 but anything made by Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, or Marantz from that same era should look nice and serve your purpose for less money.

VIntage speakers are likely to have rotten or soon tobe rotten foam surrounds. There are a pair of Spendor S3e's for sale on A'gon for $750. Look classic, sound good, reasonably priced. Or you can get a pair of Klipsch Hereesy
most any time for $400 on Ebay.

Jolida JD-202 integrated amp---$750 retail
Vintage tuner---$400
Spendor S3e (used)---$750

$100 left for stands.

Good luck!
