May I suggest a pair of KEF LS50W ($2500), these speakers only require a source (like a music server or a smartphone) you dont need any other equipment they have built in amplifiers and DAC’s and volume control. These speakers borrow the same concident speaker technology as the $30,000 Flagship Blade speakers. Several ways to connect from a pair of analog inputs(turntable) to Optical and USB audio (TV or music server) or even Bluetooth (smartphone). This USB Audio is THE connection for best SQ. I would connect a Aurender music server ($2500) for a ultimate small system although this will push past your 3k budget a little. Of course there are other music servers that would keep it more in line, Marantz comes to mind. Yes you could connect a Bluesound node2i streamer ($600) to them as well.. Happy listening.
