Plinius 8150 integrated amp with either Totem Signature 1, or Merlin TSM-SE, or Dynaudio Contour 1.1's. CD Transport-Theta Pearl, D/A- used sonic frontiers d/a converter 1 or 2. Cables would include Oval 9, while IC would be tara labs or Magnan Vi. I would probably try to get a used Totem, Merlin or Dynaudio to fit your budget.
