Well, Zenblaster I suppose those speakers would sound pretty great with the right electronics.
If the speakers are efficient enough for them, I'd look to perhaps a Peachtree Decco or a Rega Brio-R or a Dayens integrated. Cables from Blue Jeans Cable. And then pair that with a used turntable such as a VPI HW-19, a Technics 1200, or an old Rek-o-kut.
The Peachtree, Rega or Dayens can be found for under $1000, and I have seen each of those turntables I mentioned for under $500.
I'd put that set-up against about any other combo of equipment totalling $5000.
Now what speakers up to $3500 is the question...
