Mapman,
I currently only have a very basic PC audio system, consisting of a pair of Pioneer HPM-60s and a Sony Integrated Amplifier (TA-AX500). The room parameters at this point are irrelevant because I have not yet moved into my own place. Again, I'm simply looking for ideas and am in no way shape or form ready to buy any equipment for a while (years).
In the future, I'm looking to setup a budget of about $8K for the entire system. And, honestly, even at this point that's probably unrealistic, probably around the $5K range. I know speakers are the most important part of the package, but at the same time I know a system is only as good as its weakest link.
For now, I'm just trying to get a feel for what brands/models you guys know of that would be good for my genre, as well as still perform well for other genres that I listen to, including: some softer rock, classical, movie sountracks, some jazz.
