Good afternoon Gentlemen. I have finally finished revamping my home office (new slate floor, paint and fireplace) and am looking to build a nice 2 channel or 2.1 system for my office. For starters, it probably isn't the best acoustical environment (slate floors, vaulted ceiling) so I may end up needing some acoustical wall treatments along the way. The room is ~12x16 with an angled vaulted ceiling (~14 foot).
I have a varied taste in music ranging from Andreas Vollenweider to classic rock with some jazz thrown in for good measure. I have been spoiled by spending some time in Alan Yun's listening room @ Silverline Audio so I am leaning towards a tube setup and maybe a set of his SR17.5's or equivalent. I am open to suggestions and have even reviewed some of the NYsound overseas amplifier offerings (Xindak, etc.) I have even contemplated picking up a pair of Usher Be-718's but have not found a place to review them. I may also step back into vinyl so I'm open to recommendations in this arena also. I also like products designed nicely with a modern flair but only if the performance is on par with the design. Bang for the buck is great, but it has to look great also. I'm realistically looking at spending $4-5000 for the complete setup.
The components I seek your advice/recommendations in are:
1. amplifier setup
2. record player and or CD player
3. speakers (2.0 or 2.1)
4. any other ideas/recommendations
I thank you all in advance for your help.
