An excellent set of suggestion by S7horton. You might also want to consider PSB speakers. Excellent value and good bang for the buck. Another possibility is a Rotel amp. I also suggest watching for a small Creek amp if you can find one. Look for a 4000 series amp. About 40 watts, which is less power than the Musical Fidelity but they have good bass response relative to other small amps. A good rockin' little amp. They sell quickly but turn up regularly for about $500 on Audiogon.
Looking for options for new music system
Please help. Looking for options
Ok starting from scratch. Have $2000.00 budget for a 2 channel system that can handle rock music to jazz. Needs to be able to take on some volume twisting. CD player and turntable a must. Room size is a small open loft (10 x 8), my seating area and desk would only be about 6’ away from speakers but the loft opens up to the rest of the home, Not much room to move speakers away from the wall. All equipment can be new or used, speakers can be tower or Bookshelf with stands. Thank you,
