Need suggestions for a $1500 used system for my daughter.......

She just purchased her first house and she wants good sounding music playing soon! Yes, it seems I influenced her. 100% Tidal streaming. I will make all cabling for her. Small floor-standers or book shelf speakers.   Can be separates or an all in one. Needs to have a nice smooth and warmish sound.  She dislikes top end sizzle or bite. Full bodied sound is needed! Can be tubes, but only small signal tubes .... no power tubes.  Ok Agoners please offer me up some killer options! Most likely used with my small budget, but who knows?! Thanks in advance.

@grannyring   Bill, step back. Audiophiles shouldn't let their children grow up to be Audiophiles. One quick look around these environs should be enough to convince anyone. 😇

You can open up that box and have your way with it. And yes, it does accept Acoustic BBQ cabling. 😉

I getting the Boxers! Also a Nuprime Int amp.   Thanks all! Just need a decent streamer for cheap now.  MicroRendo perhaps used.  Any ideas? The Nuprime has a dac.

Rather than starting with a starter system it might be more economically prudent in the long run to go to a big boy class system right from the get go.  I'm thinking OTL mono amps, reproductions of vintage horns and an R2R source.  By shopping wisely you should be able to come in under 100x your planned budget.  Good luck!
