Your best 2-channel system for 6000$ total

I'm looking for advice on creating a new/used 2-ch stereo setup for under 6000$ total. I listen to rock, blues, etc. pretty loud. Components:
1. Full Range Speakers (preferrably down to 25-30 hz)
2. Integrated Amp (or seperates)
3. CD Player
4. Tuner
5. Cables, etc.

(I just bought new psb synchrony 2's and new parasound halo a21 but don't like the sound together, although i am using a cheap bluray player and avr as preamp. I was thinking of selling those items for around 4000$ and using that $ towards my new system. Or maybe i should keep those and build from there?) I am looking for what you would do if you were in my shoes today....Much Thanks!

Folks gave you some good advice on your other thread.

Yes, you already got the right advice on your other thread. Your Parasound/PSB combo is so much better than your upstream components they're just revealing those shortcomings.

First of all, ditch your cheap Blu-ray for an Oppo, whichever one you're willing to pay for. Second, don't expect great sound from your cable video feed, though a better AV pre/pro could help.

I don't know what you're using for cable, but electronics are all about signal transfer. Some entry level Transparent may be a good place to start there.
