Starting a new system...

I just found a great deal on some items, and I plan to build a new system around them. What I've got so far are two 1 meter pairs of single-ended Siltech Compass Lake interconnects, a 2 meter pair of Nordost Valhalla speaker cables with spades at both ends and three 2 meter Electraglde Fatboy power cords. Any recommendations on what source components, amplification components, power conditioning equipment and speakers would go well with what I already have? Thanks alot everyone:)

This has got to be the most inspired search. Most people identify the main components and then match the interconnects, cables and cords accordingly. I have no suggestions but I will watch the recommendations that come in with great interest.

I own siltech Ls 120 g3,and from what Iam reading
on the nordost valhalla,they are both a
little bit bright .My speaker recommendation,
B&W, any dark sounding speaker,Ill go with tube
player.It seems to me money is not a problem.
Halcro amp and preamp.You might be able to get
away with the Amati, and the Parsifal,or Andra
eggleston.

Sorry, no experience here in regard to building a system from the ground up with the listed cables - however I may be able to suggest perhaps a better starting point (different cables to "sprout from") with a tad more info.

You might also consider basing the new system on "neutral" cables. In this case just check out what gear the local chain restaurants are using (certain that the seater-greeter will more than happy to supply this info).
