What is the best system one can make under $5000

I use mine with Salk SongTowers, in second system,  and it is excellent

though the Belles Aria Integrated is also excellent and may be an even better overall value since the OP wants phono

Nice catch on the Hegel @ethos123. Here’s a link to another H160 for $2k but may be somewhat negotiable and still under budget with the Revels.

To the OP, in a prior post you listed a turntable and phono preamp in your current system. Are you looking to replace them too within this budget or just have an input for them? I’m a little confused here.

Thanks, @all for the suggestions. This will certainly help.

Take a look at the PS Audio Sprout100 (integrated amp -w- MM phono/DAC/BT and headphone output) available direct for $600.

Very positive online user and pro reviews.

This will allow you to increase your TT & speaker budget.
