Building an all analog system around Magnepan .7 for 4K and under


Dear Friends, 
My wife and I are professional musicians, and we are saving up for a system to listen to mainly classical and jazz on vinyl. I'm a jazz drummer, and she is a classical double bassist. The more realistic our system is to our real instruments, the happier we are. We will be using this in a medium/smallish 12' x 11' room. 

We will not need a dac, just speakers, amp, turntable. We prefer an integrated amp with a phono preamp, to keep the set up simple as possible but we can consider buying an external phono preamp,

I've read recommendations for for Rogue Sphinx and Pioneer Plx-1000 to go with this system, but I was wondering if there are any other suggestions for our needs. We are also open to set ups that we can build on in the future, Like buying a Nad C 375 BEE and bridging it with a C 275BEE couple of years down the road, or buying a subwoofer later. 

Thanks again for your input, 
Emre

One should not overlook a really good analog TT/TA setup that is somewhat new. Check out the following: 
The PolyTable SUPER 12 http://hifigem.com/PolyTableSUPER12.html
George Merrill has been making TT's since 1979 and this model is getting rave reviews. Easily besting TT's selling for $10K.
Best of luck
