Novice here with questions

We Just moved into a townhome. The top floor has hardwood floors, three very large windows (4' x 6') and a slanted ceiling that at its highest point is 16 feet. Because of all the glass and the sloped ceiling the acoustics are what I would consider weird. The room dimensions are 27' long by 16' across, and there is no way to add ceiling speakers or any speakers in the rear. My budget for a receiver, cd player, and two speakers is $2000. I am aware the options are limitless, but would like your opinion on what percentage to spend on receiver vs speakers to get the most bang for my $, as well as what kind or type of speaker might best handle this room.

Magnepans driven by a NAD intergrated or receiver rated at 100 w will do the job. If you buy used, there will be enough for a good CD player. Used, or Anti Cables will help you stay on budget.
I agree that the Magnepans will respond to better amplification, but with a budget of $2000, I don't think you will get better sound for your money. You'll also have the ability to trade up in the future as Millicurie points out.
