I know this thread was started with NEW equipment as the guideline. Sorry 'bout that.

This thread is about as subjective as it gets! I'd say MY system. Some of these pieces are a little older and not made anymore but is all less than 8 years old and can be had now for even less! Snell CV speakers($1900), Hafler 9270 150Wx2 amp ($800), Parasound DAC 1600 ($800), Pioneer DVL-700 CD/DVD/LD - beefy transport! ($750), Audio Alchemy DTI-PRO32($600), Audioquest Quartz interconnects,Audio Alchemy powered digital cable, and Audioquest Cobalt speaker cable ($600), Panamax MAX1000+ ($200). OK, this brings it to $5650, but you can probably pay far less for this on this site and be well under the $5K limit. I've bought a few pieces, including some of the equipment above, used for the prices listed. I am not going to go out on a limb and say this "sounds" better than any of these other systems listed but I am extremely satisfied with the equipment and the sound! In a perfect world we'd be able to listen to all of the combos above and vote! Who knows, with progression of technology we'll be able to do that in a "virtual" setting one day. Wouldn't that be cool! Enjoy the music!
