System for a teenager


I need advice to build a system for one of my sons school mates and his father. I have been advised to keep budget as low as possible but strive for quality sound.

My idea is buy used gear here at Audiogon starting with 2 series Vandersteen's, DVD-CD player with volume control and moderate power tube amps.

Would especially appreciate ideas for the DVD-CD with volume control and ideas for moderate power tube amps.

OK, I just had some fun "shopping":

Meadowlark Vireo Hot Rod supurb, obm, black, warranty
Asking $595.00 obo
(this is an AWESOME sounding full range monitor, with front ported bass so it can be placed against a wall; I liked this model better than their next higher up model, the Kestrel I think)

Golden Tube Audio SE-85 (6SN7 and EL34 -- love those tubes)
Asking $600.00 obo

Nordost Solar Wind, RCA 1m, pics

TARA QUANTUM III SPEAKER CABLE

Good Luck Albert.
