ProAcs or B&W--Not hifi experienced, but luv music


I have a 5K budget for a compact system. I have looked at three systems. The 4K setup is a Linn Classik w ProAc Tablette Signatures. The 6K one is Rotel receiver w/ B&W 805s w/a Mac Book as the CD player and a Benchmark digital to analog converter. The store is giving me a discount on demo stuff. I would be willing to spend the extra $$$ as that includes a notebook, on-line radio, etc. I like both of these. The third option is B&O at 5K. This is pretty but the the sound doesn't justify the $$$. I enjoy listening to international, classical, putamayo, jazz, latin. Which do you think is the better system?

You can educate yourself on both the Oppo and the Paradisea by searching on those words in the forums. I believe Oppo has a new model out - you'll need to read up and figure out which one to get. It's also a great DVD player.

Blu-Ray?

Not yet, but I bet it happens this year.

Thanks -- I'm going to another music shop this afternoon. Esp. thanks re: disk player. Don't want to spend $ on that and get junk. J
I found the Linn Classik on this site, but I'm not sure what I have to do to purchase it. Do I have to buy a membership and then bid on it, or do I just contact the seller via e-mail? Thanks -- Jane
I've sent for the Classik. Now I need the ProAc 1 sc's. I've seen the ad on this site, but if you folks hear of or know someone who's willing to let their 1sc's speakers go, please let me know. Not only am I listening to you, I'm hearing you. Thanks, Jane
