Buying equipment

Ok, I've been looking online to put together a system and man is it frustraring. I live in rural wyoming and cannot go to a stereo store. So I will need to buy online.

None of the companies sell their components online, they only refer me to a dealer. Then even on the dealer's sites there are very few photos and again no prices. I did find 6moons' site, but it is tedious clicking through reviews to get to the bottom and find out its $45,000.

Amazon doesn't have much that is interesting- I want something unique and all that I would have access to is Sonos, Focal, 'Bird', marantz, and yamaha. Fleawatt is done building for the year and that seems to be it.

I'm looking for a tight little system that will fill the living room of a one bedroom apartment with hardwood floors.

I want something that will play standard CD's and one that I can eventually hook up a Pro-ject turntable to.

Any help of how to find a system to buy?

Thanks,
S.

Above is an entire very high end system for apx $12K, add a transport or a Computer for CD playback and your in business.

You could try Music Direct as they have a try out program but if you return something more than twice they probably won't like it. I bought my Marantz limited pieces from them and the customer support is rather nice and easy to talk to.

As for 6moons, if you look at the section directly above the start of the review, it'll list the price: it's usually the last thing listed.

You could also try other sites with a following and see if there's anyone in your area that's willing to let you come over and listen.

All the best,
