Best system for ROMANCE

Hi Cindy; A LOT of good suggestions above, but I agree with staying away from vinyl-- but only for the reasons stated. The system Trelja recommends would do it for me. I've owned Vandersteen 2Ces for years, and they are warm, forgiving, and inviting-- it's true that they do need room. Sorry, but I can't comment on the wine! Cheers. Craig.

Hey Cindy I suspect there are more beer drinkers among the lot of us judging by a thread titled "BEST BEER...MADE ANYWHERE". I certainly love wine but freely admit I'm no connoisseure. Khrys's system looks real good to me although I am not familiar with the CD player. I'll guarantee lush and romantic with his other choices however. Just make sure you.....STAY WITH TUBES! But really, I don't believe you'll need convincing once you listen. Have fun with your journey.

somehow a bedroom system seems appropriate so may I suggest a rega planet cd player as long as the repeat button on the player works I see no need for a changer, Joseph Audio RM7 signature in a beautiful rosewood veneer good 24-26in stands a jolida jd-502b for the romantic sound of tubes some mit cable and interconnect all items aside from the speakers are avail. used for a lot less than new but the rest in good wine good music possibly possibly a copy of jan klemmer TOUCH and go for it my lady

Hi guys,so far I like Trelja's system best.I want to make my final decision based on what you guys recommend.I am afraid to walk into a hi-end shop a be at the mercy of a dealer.I want to know what I want,buy it and get out.I don't want to buy used here on audiogon as I dont have the time and dont want to take chances.I have to go to N.Y.C. for this weekend through Tuesday and will visit some shops to see if they have anything recommended here and maybe take a quick listen.I plan on buying my system in a couple weeks on the west coast where I live.I dont want a bedroom system.I want to be able to get the best sound possible in my 30'X18'X10'high living room.The bedroom is not the ideal room.My passion for music and men will work best in my living room.I was born in 1969 to a rock star father and his girlfriend(mom)according to them they loved to get stoned,crank the tunes and get it on.I guess its in my blood.Only difference is I dig classical and wine, not rock and weed.Thanks guys for all your help! Any suggestions for a N.Y.C.dealer who wont give me a hard time if just want to look around?Thanks again,Cindy

Sound by Singer has just about everything on the list. He DOES by all accounts only sell retail, no discounts with him. So you may have to use your considerable charms to get a deal. I know he has most of Trelja recommendations except maybe the CD player and cables.
