Best system used for $10,000 for classical music

Would you be willing to have a tubed pre with only (4) 6922's ,not a hassle at all, to help soften SS @ this price point.

Yes.

Good than an ARC-15 works!! Also you could have the option of an ARC CD 3 for the same $, nothing to do with tubes just a very good afterthought that maybe should have been a first thought!

ATC Speakers (have built in amps); These are used at Disney Music Hall and Telarc Studios

Bryston pre-amp ss

or:

From Italy:

Unico amps
Opera speakers

Best for classical.
Spkrs: used Harbeth 40.
There's a new model out, so the old one I'm recommending should get a discount.
Electronics: used YBA -- an integrated (unless you find a good deal on pre+power) & a cd player. CAVEAT: the cdplayer must be easy to repair (i.e. the transport).

That's it. The music will be great. The looks -- not so great. Plus there's no tube (but you can buy one to stick on top of the amp, for looks:))! Regards
