All Japanese system

Hey all, I was wondering, just for fun, if anyone could take a shot at "designing" an all Japanese system (including, amp, preamp, CD, turntable, cartridge, speakers, interconnects) at the price point of $7000 used. I have a friend who is interested, and I'm sort of out of my element here. He is looking for that "characteristic Japanese sound" ;)

Take care,
-Marc

Thanks! I guess my problem is knowing which components are not only Japanese, but "Japanese sounding" (whatever that means) ;)

I know that a lot of Japanese enthusiasts like the big, old-school Tannoys w/the pulp concentric drivers. These might cost you a good bit themselves.

If you ask a Japanese person about what sound they like, they may well answer: McIntosh and Tannoy!

Aball, don't forget JBL, Altec, Marantz, and other fine vintage gears.
