Researching solutions for purchasing a system


I am looking help purchasing a system components, less turntable, to take full advantage of my vinyl collection. I've made an attempt to research practical solutions but have become thoroughly overwhelmed. All I have to show after several months of hard work is that I believe I'd like to have tube based pre,and mono block amplifiers. I don't care about about brand name or looks (too much), but would like to budget $3-4k for these. Speakers - Again, overwhelmed but have grown to like the sound of Magnepan (3.6) w/tweeters and sub (if needed). Budget for the speakers is about $3 to $4k. Any help is appreciated!

Finally some solid direction! I'd like to respond to all by mentioning that I enjoy mostly any vinyl from the early 70's to present including rock & Motown, typically groups that have recorded in well equipt (quality) recording studios. I would prefer to buy modern, previously owned/upgraded components and would like to ask for specific model numbers for the AR,CJ, BAT, Bryson, Cayin and VAS potentials. Elizabth, I have a local shop that upgrades the 3.6s w/"super tweeters", "conditioning electronics" and high-quality (internal) wiring. I've listened to them w/subs (because they were needed) & they the combo was very impressive. Any comment on them needing upgrades or was that smoke & mirrors ? Thanks everyone!
