What is the best system one can make under $5000

Hi,
I am new to speakers in general and have a couple of decent headphones. What is the best system one can hope to create with a budget of $5000. It is ok to include second-hand components as well. It should allow a turntable and at least one optical input and headphone output.

The listening area is 13ft X 20ft.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

I use mine with Salk SongTowers, in second system,  and it is excellent

though the Belles Aria Integrated is also excellent and may be an even better overall value since the OP wants phono

according to Audio Advisor, it's a clearance item, and no more can be ordered.  whether or not that's a marketing ploy...
