Neophite needing advice


Hi - I am looking to buy a new music system (a CD player, an integrated amplifier, a tuner, and good bookshelf speakers), but have very little experience with the equipment part of the project - could anyone recommend a setup for up to $1500 to produce a good sound? I mostly listen to classical music and jazz. Thanks a lot.

CORRECTION! CORRECTION! Classic is a "Reciever" that has AM/FM! Better for you, "three birds killed with one stone"!
Check out this website for a few ideas, and good luck. Charlie....http://www.goodsound.com
Eldragon: Do you think that the Sekrit could be hung (like a painting) as opposed to being flush mounted? It's an interesting system that you have recommended, very B&O-ish. I am looking at a 12 watt pseudo SET by Audion that the speakers may work well with in our spare room (90db @ 1 watt). It would depend on how the amp handles a 4 ohm load. I have decided to spend more on the amp than originally planned and a break on the speakers would do the trick of making it happen quicker. Some of the Linn stuff is pretty good IMO. I also like the concept of an invisible sound source and do not enjoy looking at equipment and speakers as others do.
Eldragon: PS: Chester Himes detective novel series, ever read any? I am going to try and locate them on Bibiofind. I found out about them in American Heritage magazine.
They are versatile, and yes you can do that too, but also you can use them as a minimonitors on the stand! I thought Tukan's were their (linn)best low cost, till i heard Sekrits! they are "sweet" and as detailed as Epos 12, without trace of any coloration! I am confindent to say, for the money, probably best sounding speakers you can buy!On- Wall speakers, who would ever thought? Regarding Himes, i haven't! Although i would recommend "Pulp" Charles Bukowski (i would like to hear your comments on this detective novel)and the "Chump change" Dan Fante, it isn;t detective novel, but "cuts" like a rasor! Dekay, did you ever watch the "Singing detective" miniseries about 10 years ago, i think on HBO?
