If I want a bookshelf system this good, what should I buy?


Hello

This might not impress you much, but....

Here is a link to the video which made me to fall in love with the Monitor Audio Gold 100 5G speakers.

Compared to the speaker I have owned for a very short time, the SVS ultra bookshelf, this speaker sound much sweater, less harsh, smoother texture, better soundstage, and has sound of air in the voice. 

I dont think I need a better sound from my next first stereo for now.

The question I have is that they are using a $10K Luxman integrated amp with a fancy CD player in the clip. Which is not even close to my budget range.

Given that you have about 3K to 3.5K to invest on audio gears (that is assuming you already have the speaker), what components would you buy to make the sound quality as close to the sound quality from the video? I am talking gears like a network bridge, DAC, and amp. Or maybe add a pre-amp on top of that.

Going integrated amps instead of separate DAC and Amp is an option, too, but I would stick with the streaming for music source.

What I have so far in my mind are MiniDSP SHD Studio for streamer, the MHDT Orchid for DAC, and maybe a Schiit Aegir for amp. But, I do not know these will work in harmony to make good sound quality as in the video. And, need some advise on picking components.

Gears of your choice do not have to be in New condition btw.

Thanks

I have responded to you on your original thread. You seemed to have increased your budget after having listened to your speakers driven by high quality electronics. Also seems that you havn't yet purchased the DAC or streamer so you have options there. 
I heard the Vandersteen VLR's using an Aurender N100, Ayre Codex DAC, and Belles Integrated and was very impressed.
Adding a Sub 3 to the mix makes it pretty sweet. And, I think it is within your budget, especially if you can buy some of it used, and still have money for some good AQ cables.

I saw a rosewood pair at hifi buys in ATL today. Idk what they sound like, but they look like JEWELRY!
Depends on uour budget and space but i have had a pair of Buchardt s400's for about 4 months now and i love them they have another model that is really goid too the S300

S400 is the best speaker i have ever owned. 
If you like the Schitt amp, then I would stay with as much of their gear as fits your use.  Their stuff is most likely to work together well.  You can also, ask them for suggestions on other gear and their return policy is supposed to work well.Let us know how it works out when you have your system.Good Luck
