Neophite needing advice


Hi - I am looking to buy a new music system (a CD player, an integrated amplifier, a tuner, and good bookshelf speakers), but have very little experience with the equipment part of the project - could anyone recommend a setup for up to $1500 to produce a good sound? I mostly listen to classical music and jazz. Thanks a lot.

Dekay, I use Linn Sekrits as my main speakers (with Majik) and they are delightful. I have not directly A/B'd them with Tukans but I think they are more transparent and have more bass. Linn's website lists an in-wall Sekrit. Mine are not in-wall. I have them on stands (they need dedicated stands from Linn), but they come ready for wall hanging. You could hang them from a sturdy picture hook, but Linn sells a special bracket for them. Very unorthodox looking speaker -- only 5" deep and has a polymer cabinet -- the sound would surprise the heck out of you. This site has a pair for $295. That is ridiculously low; it is a good couple leagues higher in capability than the quality, value-oriented bookshelfers that occupy this price point. I think the pair for sale are white (mine are black), but you can paint'em anything you want (yes, they are unorthodox).
