Budget system recommendations

If you needed to build a second system for yourself or a friend what would you recommend in the areas of amp, pre-amp, and speakers? This system would be a compilation of USED components. The budget is $1200. What percentage would you recommend for each of the three components?
What components would you recommend for the system?
Thank you for your suggestions

I would not go used ... I would also go for flexibility and potential future use and go for AV compatible equipment ...
For speakers, try Acoustic Research 302. Original MSRP is $1000; internet price is $250 (www.accessories4less.com); Go with a quality AV receiver like the Denon 2801, which you can get for $550 or so (www.jandr.com); and I would go for a combination DVD/CD player like the SONY 306D for $200. This would put you at $1000 ... enough left over for cables.

Good luck.
