Best speakers for classical music 2k ?

I'm planning to purchase a Hifi system. I listen almost exclusively to classical music. I'm thinking about spending between $3k and $5k. What kind of system (CD player, amplifier, speakers) would you recommend? I think speakers are key. Which ones should I check out? I'm in the UK, but could possibly buy in Germany. Any good Hifi store in London? Thanks,

Heiner

For $5,000, I would guess that Alastair Gardner (Signals) at www.signals.demon.co.uk (get his email address and phone number and lots of information about speakers and components he carries) can put together a very good system for you including a pair of world-class Harbeth Compact 7 speakers.

His store is in Suffolk, a bit of a drive maybe, but well worth the time.

For classical listen to the Spendor 1/2 or 2/3. 1/2s occasionally show up on this site for $1200-$1600 with stands. 2/3s should be $900-$1200 on this site.

You should listen to Paulwp. The Harbeth C7 ES I have is pure, pure, pure. Signal will fix you up. Have fun.
