Help me build a system

It's been almost 4 years since my last purchase, and I'm surprised that I've contained my urge to upgrade for so long. But now that I have enough funds and resources to put together another system, I would very much appreciate your help on putting together a system for classical music only.

My room is about 12' by 14' carpeted and I have about $3000/new to play with.

I've already been auditioning a whole bunch of gears and I'm set on Consonance CD120 Linear to start with.

Now the most difficult part, the speakers. I'm so open minded that basically all of the speakers I've auditioned so far, although vastly different, sounded good to me. I'm looking for a near-full range experience with emotional involvement.

Please help!

For classical music, you're going to need dynamic speakers. There are a lot of choices. One such option consists of PSB Stratus Gold or Silver speakers, with a strong integrated such as a Plinius 8200 or Musical Fidelity A308cr.

I would also look at Vandersteen as they are a great performer at real world price......Vandersteen speakers are for those who know what they want and just wish to enjoy music and not stay on the purchase treadmill.

lol. Surely you must go through the post here on the Gon entitled "best speakers you ever heard!" (lol). Perhaps your pair is in that post!?
Otherwise, you're gunna have to try something, and compare!!
Remember, EVERYONE ends up with different gear! Thus, it's all personal preference. good luck
