Would Appreciate Advice Before I Buy


Greetings and thanks in advance for any and all assistance. I am re-entering the vinyl world in my 60s, now that I have enough time to give to that approach and a little bit of money to spend on components that will help me to enjoy the music I like.

I am only wanting to spend in the neighborhood of $2,000 - $4,000. I realize that's a relatively small outlay, but I also gather that there are good options at almost every price point. Here is what I am contemplating - I would welcome comments. Am I missing something? Will these components "play well" together?

  • Schiit Ragnarok-2 integrated amplifier (fully-loaded)
  • Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO turntable 
  • Klipsch RP-600M speakers
  • Bose Quiet Comfort headphones (already own these and would use if I can)
I like a variety of music styles: classical, pop/rock, big band, jazz, a little blues and other. I am not a terribly demanding listener, but I think I can hear the difference between great sound and mediocre sound. My room is a currently open large rectangular "bonus room" upstairs in a new home. I can adapt (sub-divide, other) that room over time to improve sonics.

My first vinyl purchase is a set of the Franklin Mint "Greatest Jazz Recordings..." in, well, mint condition that I was able to get very inexpensively at an estate sale this past week. I will probably start picking up some of the re-issued Elvis Costello soon as well. 

What do you think? Thanks again.

Are the speakers and amp a good match power/sensitivity/impedance wise?

klipsch are bright 
I’m a Jazz fan and using Elac 2.0/6.2 set and a set of EPOS Epic 2 speakers- Just got
Peachtree Nova 150 - unreal match 
I got lucky but did my homework 
call the amplifier manufacturer and ask about speakers compatibility 
I would get a pair of Elac ub52 over the Klipsch unless you are into a horny sound. Watch NRD youtube.
Never heard a Klipsch that didn't fry my ears, The Wharfedale Linton's were so laid back I thought they had fallen over. Of all speakers mention I found Elac's a trifle bright but OK if matched well. If you really like the Klipsch and I know people do  I would suggest Rega Planar 3 turntable with Rega Brio amplifier , better still Rega Elex R would be well worth a listen. If you are listening in close consider Kef IS50's rather than Klipsch, your ears will love you for it.
