Need Help

I am new to the Audio world and need advice as I am as confused as ever.  I am wanting an all in one receiver that I can listen to my downloaded / streamed music / turntable and one that will hook into my TV.  I will be running 2 tower speakers and a Sub.  I have set myself a budget of $3000.00 and I am very open to the used market and to be honest I like some of the vintage stuff anyway.  I know that my budget is low and probably insulting to some but its what I have at the time and I plan on adding / up grading as I go. I love the looks of the Marantz, Adcom and Cambridge as far as receivers.  The speakers I am lost as there are so many to choose from.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all.

Thank you all for the advice!
Quick thoughts!
B&W 600 series 
or
Klipsch Heresy?
They are about the same price.  I do like to rock out from time to time, but I Love love the Blues.

Any thoughts on the Fluance brand?

Thank you for your perspective.

I did not however go to Magnolia and yes I understand that the Audio world offers so much more.  With that being said I live in a small town and my options are limited and to what my high end store offers.

McIntosh, B& W, Yamaha and yes Klipsch.


I am trying to find what's  the best option for a beginner with a Budget of

$3000.00

I was hoping to do the following.

$1000-2000 on a good set of speakers

$1000 on a all in one receiver/amp

Maybe I could save some money on either of the 2 and use the rest to get quality Speaker cables???

Sorry about the late reply, I have been out of pocket.

I am a novice and to be honest I cant answer some of the questions above.  I can tell you that I don't watch a ton of movies but the wife and I do enjoy one from time to time.

I can tell you that I do like to listen to my music on a daily basis and to be honest with you I like it loud,  my main music is the blues and rock and roll.  As I am getting older I am really liking some jazz and alot of acoustical music.  No rap or Hip hop for this Guy!  I have an amazing collection of albums that was left to me by my late sister ( close to 1200 albums ) and I want to add a turn table at some point. 

I hope that some of the above information will help anyone that can give me some advice in this crazy audio world. 

Thank you all in advance for any info that you can help me with.
