Help Me Build a Second System For Less than $10000


Hi, I am trying to build a second system for by Bedroom and looking for suggestions . I am planning to spend around $10000 for everything including speakers,pre/pro and Amps. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am willing to spend a little more if necessary.

Ckoffend are you saying that the Touch DAC is so good that a sub $1000 DAC wouldn't make that much difference is the sound for the better? I know that a $400 DAC with my SB Duet makes a big difference.
I have a second system with a Leben CS300X integrated, using Devore Super 8's and a Sonos ZP90 with a Cambridge Dacmagic in my family room. Room is 15 x 17 and system sounds great at low to mid levels. I never listen that loud in there.
Nice feature of the Leben is it has a bass boost button that beefs up the bottom end at lower volume levels.
Total cost about $10K with cables and everything
I am not going to tell you any brand but I agree with many of the tube advisers. If you're getting solid state, it's going to cost you more then 10 grand for some of the real good ss. At least tubes you don't have to spend megabucks to make your system sound good although plenty of mega buck tube amps and preamps. I would go all tubes from preamps, amps or integrated, including a tube cdp. Don't spend too much on cables, just get reasonable quality cables. As far as speakers, I would go for electrostats, planars, anything with ribbons or horns and if you can afford it a LINESOURCE ARRAY would be much preferred. After all it's a second system. You might want to even just invest on good quality bookshelfs for speakers. It's all about matching and what would work for your ears on the 1st or second system. There's a lot of good gear you can get for 10k or below. Plenty of giant killer manufacturers out there. I don't like imposing my desired manufacturers of any component. If you were to ask my peference then I would recommend. It's all about you and what would make you happy!
