Help building first tube system.


I am looking to build my first tube system. Small 15 x 15 room, want stand mounted speakers, cd transport, dac and network player, and tube amp/preamp. Would like to stay under $20,000. Not sure where to start?  No dealers around me for demo or help. Any advice helps! Thanks.

For tubes, Atmasphere- MA-60 with an MP-3 or UV-1.
Vandersteen VLR's
Rega Apollo CD player
Bluesound Node
Ayre Codex DAC.
If you buy used, you should have enough for good AQ cables and maybe a Vandy Sub 3. Though if you splurge on the AQ William Tell speaker cables, you probably won't need a sub.- And, I heard em.
You could save a bit if you went SS and just got a Belles Aria integrated amp. (That's what was connected to the above mentioned speakers/ DAC/Streamer when I heard those William Tell's connected.
Truly a WTF moment.
