ProAcs or B&W--Not hifi experienced, but luv music


I have a 5K budget for a compact system. I have looked at three systems. The 4K setup is a Linn Classik w ProAc Tablette Signatures. The 6K one is Rotel receiver w/ B&W 805s w/a Mac Book as the CD player and a Benchmark digital to analog converter. The store is giving me a discount on demo stuff. I would be willing to spend the extra $$$ as that includes a notebook, on-line radio, etc. I like both of these. The third option is B&O at 5K. This is pretty but the the sound doesn't justify the $$$. I enjoy listening to international, classical, putamayo, jazz, latin. Which do you think is the better system?

Thanks -- I'm going to another music shop this afternoon. Esp. thanks re: disk player. Don't want to spend $ on that and get junk. J
I found the Linn Classik on this site, but I'm not sure what I have to do to purchase it. Do I have to buy a membership and then bid on it, or do I just contact the seller via e-mail? Thanks -- Jane
I've sent for the Classik. Now I need the ProAc 1 sc's. I've seen the ad on this site, but if you folks hear of or know someone who's willing to let their 1sc's speakers go, please let me know. Not only am I listening to you, I'm hearing you. Thanks, Jane
