Living audio set-up

Hi you all,

I want to upgrade my audio set-up (from a very basic with and old Pioneer amp and Polk speakers) and I have $8,500 to spend. I want to start choosing the speakers, but would also match them with an amp and a preamp. Some references:

- I used to listen to music with my turntable and my computer.
- I mostly like jazz and classical music.
- My living room size: 20x10 ft.

Would appreciate any help, considering some limitations: I'm from Chile and only some speakers could be found here (Revel, KEF, ATC, Harbeth, Dali)

Thanks :)

Small will work if you compact your listening area,ie:set up system on the short wall & sit a little closer.I would also at least throw a rug down & curtains over the closest windows..

I read somewhere the owner/designer/builder of Harbeth LOVES Hegel & uses them exclusively to demo his speakers..I would imagine the combination would be highly musical,tonally colorful & easily enjoyable..Don't forget decent stands & give everything you get time to break in,usually a good 50 hours gets you close,most gear showing minimal changes out to 500 hours..JMOYMMV,best of luck & don't forget an update when you have it all sorted out..
