All good recommendations, above. Now for something completely different:
You should probably go listen to a pair of Meridian speakers. Everyone thinks of them for home theater but they can sound very, very good for music. One of the best 2-channel rigs I ever heard was a Meridian 3-channel system for music. I listened to a recording of Van Cliburn's Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 5 and it was sublime. Absolutely the closest reproduction I have ever heard to a real concert hall.
The best part is that there is a ton of used Meridian stuff out there for sale. Meridian gear tends to be well cared for and there is a healthy dealer network.
