Amplifier: One of the very best ss amps is the Odyssey Stratos for $995. check out the reviews at odysseyaudio.com.
Preamp: look at Odyssey's Tempest preamp for $995 also.
CD player: Sony DVP s9000es. Excellent for SACD/cd/dvd at $800.
Speakers: A pair of used Aerial Model 5 or similar monitors for less than $1000.
Subwoofer: Used Bag End Infrasub 18 inch or Triad Platinum 18 inch sub for $800.
Cabling: Used Harmonic Technology Pro Silway Mk II interconnectst and a pair of Pro 11 speaker cables for about $700.
For $5300 and a few dedicated circuits/lines, this would be a very nicely detailed and powerful musical system where one could enjoy watching an occassional movie as well.
-IMO
