time for a new system...what though

ive got a old used linn system and i want a more studio sound now or more of a musician in the room vibe.
so ive come here to ask if anyone has a reccomendations on a system for me..
i want a CD player and a Intergrated amp and a pair of speakers(standmounts for now)...
i'm into spending a grand(roughly) new or used on the amp and roughly the same on the other components---i would like to buy used though as it would keep the budget lower(aint rich).
i listen to guitar based music,rock,blues ect and some electronica.....i want to hear space around my instruments not all cluttered and some toe tappin factor as well....
i live in a remote area(no hifi shops) so some input would help in my research b4 i go and buy...
thanyou
