Good Audio System for Living Room

I don't have nor can have a dedicated listening room or perfect listening position in my living room. I'd like to upgrade my very old audio system with something that will fill the living (and dining) room with sweet, warm music. Looking for amp, CD player and eventually speakers. High power not a requirement. Budget around a few thousand. A friend has recommended Rega which sounds familiar from my turntable days. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

How about a used tube receiver such as an old McIntosh or Fisher? These is easy to deal with if in good condition. Very warm sound and easy on the eyes.

As for CD player, unless are you interested in being able to play DVD, there are tons of great used players here at Audiogon.

As for speakers, there are so many it's hard to know where to start. However, when I think of small and warm, The Vandersteen 1B comes to mind.

These with the Macintosh or Fisher would make bullet proof sound that would be difficult to find fault with, especially for long term listening.
