I would look into KRK studio monitors. These are active speakers and should receive a balanced signal. If you can find an older preamp such as a Marsh with phono on board and a remote, you will stay well under budget. Of course, that depends on how many speakers you want and how big you want them. Some nice turntables can be found at yard sales or by placing a "wanted" ad on your local CraigsList. Really good tuners can be had for $150 or so and cheap cables will be plenty good enough. Did I cover everything?
Where's it going to be? I'll try to stop in sometime.
