Entry into HiFi

Hey guys, first time poster longtime lurker. I've recently purchased a Rega P3 and now I want to hook it up to a nice set of speakers and a tube amp, but I'm not really sure where to start. Right now I'm going Rega -> old receiver -> speakers. My budget is about $2000, spread out over the next 6 months. What do I need to turn my setup into a true hi-fi system? (Pre-amp, etc).

I love all kinds of music, but my vinyl collection centers around original pressings of classic rock and jazz (Davis, Coltrane).

I love the look and price of the Jolida FX10, but I've been told it has low power limiting me to high efficienc speakers? Good thing, bad thing, is there a better option?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Look for a nice under a grand Primaluna, Cayin, Rogue integrated tube amp

you dont say how big or what your listening space is like but
JM focal or Triangle make good speakers under 1K that are tube friendly

cheap interconnects/speaker wire before you go with the nitro charged hand wound by virgins silver wire thingys

I would say choose your speakers first then work from there.Just my two cents worth of useless banter!!

Yes, choose your speakers first, though I would definitely go the high-efficiency route myself!
