Your budget - $20K - best system for a small room

If I could start over and develop a system for a small listening room (11 x 12 x 8) with a budget of $20K total, what 2-channel system would you recommend. Used is OK. Digital source and FM tuner. Remote required. I listen to jazz, vocals, classical. Once it's built, I would like to describe it as musical, refined, smooth.
Thanks for your ideas.

I second the vote for an LS35a speaker/tube system. Or a great amplifier though solid state was the Audio Research D 52 B I saw one on Audiogon for under $500. This makes a very musical system. You could pick up a ARC SP-6B or SP-8 and have a very musical system. When I sold the stuff this was a heck of a system that you could listen to for hours. One could add a SACD player or turntable to this system and come in lots less than what your budget is probably.
Good listening,
Steve
