Starting From Scratch - What would you do?

I am looking for a simple system that I will not regret or want to upgrade. (if that is possible)
1. Integrated Amp (DK Design, Music Fidelity)
2. Speakers - Monitors (I always liked the Totem Mani-2's - but I just heard the Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors - just awesome)
3. CD/SACD player (Linn, music Fidelity)
4. Maybe a sub (Sunfire True)
5. Cables and interconnects ???

This is where I have started - I am just looking for a real nice and basic system. I am open to all suggestions and opinions.

thanks

There'll be as many suggestions as there are posters I'm afraid.

If I could do it all again, I'd probably try buying a pair of mint, or easily restorable, clean JBL 4343, or 4345 pro Monitors, and a modern SS Amp, due to no worries about breakdown, re-capping-etc. Something like a Mac 402, or pair of 501's, MacCormack DNA 500, and live happily ever after. Mark
