Thanks, @all for the suggestions. This will certainly help.
What is the best system one can make under $5000
Hi,
I am new to speakers in general and have a couple of decent headphones. What is the best system one can hope to create with a budget of $5000. It is ok to include second-hand components as well. It should allow a turntable and at least one optical input and headphone output.
The listening area is 13ft X 20ft.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

You could get Eminent Technology LFT-8 planar mag speakers ($2500 new) and a NuPrim IDA 16 integrated amp/dac ($2k new). Add a Lounge LCR phono preamp ($300 to $650 new) and your choice of turntable (I'd go vintage plus a good cartridge). Might go a wee bit over (or a lot if you go for something like a Koetsu cart, Kuzma table, plus a Sutherland pre). Drop to the NuPrime IDA-8 for $1k if it's a firm budget, then. http://www.eminent-tech.com/index.html?fwd=LFT8.html http://nuprimeaudio.com/product/ida-16/?v=7516fd43adaa http://www.loungeaudio.com/lcr-mr-iii |
