[QUOTE="JeremyD, post: 278296, member: 548616"] My recommendations would be this: Reciever: Look into an older used high end piece. I personally am IN LOVE with pioneer, sansui, and marantz units from the mid-late 70's. The power is clean and the sound from these units is jsut superb. I've demoed thousand dollar new solid state units in direct comparison with my babies and it was a clear choice. The sound is just so much warmer and fuller. I find that is whats lacking from modern units. Although, a proper tube amp can take care of that [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Speakers: I'd go DIY here. I'd narrow it down to a couple of choices. You could go with a simple 2 way, an MTM design, or a single full range. I personally would opt for the single full range driver. Maybe this is because I am in love with horns. But I can assure you that once you've heard a properly designed horn, you will not be satisfied with the sound of any typical speaker any more. Even Bang & Olufson's newer models can't keep up with my fostex horns. It really is disappointing that they cost about 10x more than my drivers and don't sound as good. [/QUOTE]
