Where to start? sonically balanced system ..???


How am i supposed to be able to balance my system for it to sound good ?
I understand the theory of balancing warm and dry components to get a "desired" aspect of sound..
but how to do that ? where to look ?

like right now i'm on the market for a cd player..
i only really have Mirage OM-10 speakers that will stay in my in current building system
How do i choose wich component ( like cd player here )
that will match the speakers and the rest i am planning to buy?

It's kinda hard for me ( as a beginner :p hehe )
to imagine and feel the different attributes of sound on my components..and right now i can't judge nothing cause my input and my receiver sucks ( only temps stuff )

so i don't even know how my speakers really sound

please i need help on how to design, plan and think of my future system :)

( i was planning to get bryston 3b or a small classe amplifier soon but now i'm not sure..tube or SS eehhe )

1. Get speakers that sound great IN YOUR ROOM (treat IT, too!, with a neutral amp and source.

2. Get an amp that drives these speakers well, either integrated or monos with pre.

3. Get a front end that you LOVE the sound of with this "driven system"

4. Fine tune it with cables and isolation shelves, etc.

NOTE: Keep going to live acoustic concerts to remind yourself how ravishing and shrill, even, live music is!

Have fun and trust your ears.

PS Nice affordable system I recommend to friends starting out: Audio Refinement Complete Integrated ($800) driving Revel F20 or F30 or the like ($1500-$3k), with whatever $500
CDP synergizes well in your room.
Nice, neutral system to start with, with eminently sellable parts if you get itchy.
