Speakers/receiver for classical music and opera on a budget


I apologize in advance.  You are all audiophiles and I'm only a beginner - and a poor one at that.  But I am desperate for some help.  Finding the right speakers and receiver, on a budget, for CLASSICAL music and OPERA is very, very hard.  I have a 13'x13' family room and $600.  I'd like to plug my computer, dvd player, tv, cd player and speakers into the receiver.  Please don't hate me for getting on here to ask for help.  You men/women are music gods and I need some miracle.  I'm obviously poor and don't know a thing. Right now I have Infinity Reference 2000-3 speakers and a Yamaha RX-395 receiver - if I plug my MacBook Air into that it really sounds bad.  I've been listening/watching opera via streaming/dvd on my computer with headphones.  A 3-hour opera with headphones is long.  Anyone care to help?

Ok.  Just to know how far off my advice has been...  Crutchfield and Audio Advice told to get this receiver/speakers:  Denon AVR-X1400H IN-Command receiver and MartinLogan Motion® LX16 speakers.  Then I was told to get: DENON AVR-S540BT 5.2 Channel AV Receiver with CAMBRIDGE AUDIO SX-60 Standmount Speakers.  Just thought I'd let you know.  Sounds like I need to save my money.  I appreciate the input and names of receivers and speakers that I can buy now or what I should shoot for.
