Go with Rogue tube gear, Soliloquy 5.0 or pick up the Tyler Reference monitors. That will get him started at $2500-$3000 + cd player. Can also add a sub for the rock and latin stuff. Look at Hsu for best bang for the buck.
Thoughts for a system for 5000
A friend of mine wants to put a system together for his new house and is willing to spend around $5000 for new or used components. He will listen mostly to CD but wants a turntable at a later date. Music will be jazz, latin, and rock. He prefers a slightly warm sound over analytical. Any opinions will be appreciated.
