I got around $2000 to play with....

Thanks - just a little daunted about shipping speakers.

Any thoughts on Creek Audio's cheaper components - perhaps the A50 or the 5350? I can only afford them if I get them used. Would they work well with the MA 6s if I go that route?

Should I also be looking at cambridge audio, NAD, or Marantz? Again - this is for mostly jazz, world (African, Argentinian, Brazilian), classical, and rarely pop.

Thanks!

P.S. I love almost all Brazilian music Flora and Airto 4ever

Forgot to mention: I have a Jamaican friend of mine who although we're both big roots rock Reggae fans he is a big "very old school soul" late 50's early 60's soul vinyl fan and he LOVES the sound of these records on his JBL L-150's for what it's worth

The new Onkyo Class D integrated (I forget the model #) $600 new and have seen for $400 used, a used Denon 2910 (a steal at current prices), a pair of Totem or Dynaudio monitors (used of course)and add some decent budget cables. Money left over. Done for a while. Add a decent DAC later.

I also like Sufentanil's MF integrated amp suggestion. Personally I would can the MH CD25 . I would rather have the Denon for the money. If you want to step the CD player up a bit go with the Rega Apollo or an Arcam CD23.
