Budget 2,500-Separates or one-box?
There are two Pioneer 95S transports for sale on the site (brand new ) 950 -- use to be 2500 or so and check out the Birdland Odeon Lite DAC - about 1k new . great system here. Spend the rest of the budget on a cable and some music.

Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly
The full range electrostat is still my favorite sounding speakers aka Soundlab , ML Clz and the Quad 989. No not perfect but low distortion - no moving cones - and the ML and Eros hybrids get criticized for not having a seemless crossover from woo...
