For electronics: Denon, Onkyo, Adcom, Parasound, Creek, B&K, NAD, Musical Fidelity, Jolida. Speakers: B&W, PSB, Paradigm, Mission, Triangle. Wire: Audioquest, Kimber, StraightWire, MIT. These will all put you in a good budget system. Most important thing to remember; synergy, how components complement(or don't) each other. Sorry to those not at the top of my head right at this moment.
