Newbie to the awesome audiophile world

Thanks everyone for providing such great inputs. I’ll take it slow and try to learn as much as I can before buying.

A little more about my music preference: I listen to a wide range of music from classical piano, jazz, latin jazz, rock, pop and trance. So I would need speakers that can handle a broad spectrum and provide neutral accurate sound. For starting out i'm thinking pairing a nice pair of speaker with a good integrated sound. My source music is coming from youtube and I do have a library of high quality wave music as well (50 MB per song). 

I'm currently looking to wet the appetite with more of an audiophile (used speakers). Revel, Monitor Audio, Bowers & Wilkems, KEF, paradigm are a few brands i'm interested in. I'm thinking getting an stereo integrated amp to pair with the speakers for now to have something to listen to right away and build up later on. I've heard lots of good reviews on Peachtree Audio nova 300 or Rotel, classe lines of integrated amps. 

You are in the wrong place.   Seeking information about gear on this site, is like  being adrift on a raft, in the middle of the Pacific, dying of thirst.

Whichever brands are not mentioned here, those for the masses,  are the ones you want to start with.   I would suggest inexpensive Receiver, CD player and speakers.   Then listen for a few years.

Cheers

Rather cynical rok2id??

I truly cannot say that has been my experience over the years but maybe I have either just been lucky or asked the right questions.....

Good Luck on your Quest...listen ,listen, listen to as much equipment as you can before you lay out 2,000..But there is alot of good used equipment at killer prices...Once you decide  then look for used if it out of your price range..

Not my intent, but, you would think that with all these audiophiles and all this gear, there would consensus on something.   At least ONE thing.   And EVERYONE speaks their opinion with Authority.   What's a newbie to do?

My advice:  spend as little as possible until you have the experience to know for yourself.

Cheers
