New Speakers/Amps

Hey Folks

New to Audigon and a noob at speakers/amps! All i have is a decent ear for sound!

So, I am looking to set up a very basic system with 2 speakers, sub and an amp. I will be using it purely for listening to music thru an iPod or maybe a record player and occasionally use it for house parties.

Could u please advise me on what i can realistically get for my budget?

Speakers- 1000-1300 $
Sub- 500 $
Amp- 500-800 $

Thanks in advance and best regards,
raj

I'm with Tbromgard on the NAD suggestion. I'm a huge fan of their amps, especially the amazing integrated amps.

Shop the used market here for something local. PSB, Thiel, dynaudio, Kef, vandersteen, all have good "cheap" models.

I would skip the sub for now and put the money in speakers or amp/pre.

All in one DAC/pre/amp with great sound.

If you want a head start toward great sound:

-NAD C 390DD integrated
-KEF LS50 speakers
-Rega Apollo CD player
-B&W ASW650 sub
-Harmonic Technology (or Acoustic Zen) mono crystal wire

Happy Halloween!

PSB makes some great speakers in your price range. Subs also. You can actually spend less. There are lots of great others too. I've always liked Jolida gear. I'd consider an amp from them if I was looking.
