Best system for ROMANCE

somehow a bedroom system seems appropriate so may I suggest a rega planet cd player as long as the repeat button on the player works I see no need for a changer, Joseph Audio RM7 signature in a beautiful rosewood veneer good 24-26in stands a jolida jd-502b for the romantic sound of tubes some mit cable and interconnect all items aside from the speakers are avail. used for a lot less than new but the rest in good wine good music possibly possibly a copy of jan klemmer TOUCH and go for it my lady

Hi guys,so far I like Trelja's system best.I want to make my final decision based on what you guys recommend.I am afraid to walk into a hi-end shop a be at the mercy of a dealer.I want to know what I want,buy it and get out.I don't want to buy used here on audiogon as I dont have the time and dont want to take chances.I have to go to N.Y.C. for this weekend through Tuesday and will visit some shops to see if they have anything recommended here and maybe take a quick listen.I plan on buying my system in a couple weeks on the west coast where I live.I dont want a bedroom system.I want to be able to get the best sound possible in my 30'X18'X10'high living room.The bedroom is not the ideal room.My passion for music and men will work best in my living room.I was born in 1969 to a rock star father and his girlfriend(mom)according to them they loved to get stoned,crank the tunes and get it on.I guess its in my blood.Only difference is I dig classical and wine, not rock and weed.Thanks guys for all your help! Any suggestions for a N.Y.C.dealer who wont give me a hard time if just want to look around?Thanks again,Cindy

Cindy, thank you for the kind words! I too was born in 1969, on a Friday the 13th no less. Albeit, not to any rock stars. Please go with the Jolida 302B, as opposed to the 502B. I guarantee the sound of the EL34 tubes will be MUCH more romatic than ANY 6550. Also, I believe they are identical amps, excepting the tubes. So, why pay $200 for the 502B? Also, do not discount the idea of buying used. You could put together this system used easily for $2000 - $2500. Good Luck in whatever direction you go, and please keep us posted as to what you decide on.

Cindy, while you're in New York, try to listen to as many of the recommended components/speakers you can. Since you listen to classical music, and especially if you go to live performances, you may want to give the Magnepans a serious listen. The majesty and impact..as well as subtle emotion of live classical music...is less so on any smaller box speakers...they just don't put up lifesize images. Your room is a factor,..it is a good sized area. Magnepan 1.6 and 3.6 are the most in-demand 2-channel products in the entire audio industry(while most two channel companies are either dying or selling out to "home theater")...4 to 6 month waiting lists, and people re-selling them for 90 to 95% of new list(look at the re-sale value on some of the other suggested products). I have owned the top two Vandersteens, Wilsons, Thiels...etc..all excellent...even Martin-Logans...all great hifi, the Magnepans are much different. For what is it worth most people with any model Magnepans are usually classical and jazz fans, the same cannot be said for most other speakers.. and amplified rock..is a much different different sound when created...and re-created. In the end result, take music you love,,,and buy what gives you the sound you love. But please make sure the salesperson(s) you talk to know about your room size.
