Best 5K HiFi system for Cwlondon

Cw....don't mean to be presumptuous, but this could be an interesting exerise for any "audiophile". So, if I had just $5K to spend on a stereo system, I'd audition the following: (1) Linn Majik integrated $1200., or Classe CA80 for not much more (2) PSB Stratus Mini speakers w/stands, about $1200. (3) Sony XA7ES CD player (used) $1250. Of note is that, at this time, I'd not go with SACD or DVD-A-- yet. Total is now at $3650., and I'd use the rest for ICs, spkr. cables, power cord, stereo stand, and room acoustic treatment; maybe a sub if needed? Any other suggestions?

electrocompaniet aw60/aw75/aw100 amp - $800 used.

used acurus p10 fono-stage - $150 used.

used sansui tu-717 tuna - $150 used. used nad cd-changer/player - $200 used.

that leaves $900 left for cabling - find whatever ya like - used. or, get a wee-better tuna-or-cartridge-or-fono-stage-or? and have less for the cabling....

or, add a pair of vmps original subs, a used adcom amp, & a passive x-over for ~$900 & run rat-shack cabling, until ewe can afford a decent outboard electronic x-over & better cabling.

or???
