Excellent start..had some Vandersteens myself and loved them. The Quatro's must be AWESOME!

How about a SOTA/SME combo. Perhaps the Cosmos and Series 5 arm?

Have Fun!
<5,000?

The Sota I own is a Star - AGon used but like new $1,250
The SME I own is the Series IV - AGON used but like new $1,000.

Retail for these 2 "like new" items about $5,000, paid $2,250. Plenty left for a good cartridge AND phono pre if needed.

Sorry for coming on strong, just a personal affection i have for Vandersteens, Sota, and Tubes (Conrad Johnson for me)

Good luck with whatever you do.
