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!

I agree with Tpreaves. First try a better CDP and definitely keep the Parasound.
My PSB Synch's were also bright and forward. Spkr cable selection can integrate these speakers into the system. Also room treatments are very important. Much cheaper than buying new speakers.
I'll let others address your slanted ceiling, but my room is only 12' x 16' and the PSBs didn't sound right until they were 4' from rear wall, 8' apart, and listening position 8' from spkrs. An equilateral triangle. BTW, It took me about 2 months of changing positions, moving treatments and toe-in.
