My "Bang-for-the-buck" system. I tried to pic high value, low cost components starting with the Teach TN 300 turntable which has been upgraded with a AT VM 530 cartridge, leather mat and record clamp. All the settings were corrected (highly recommended) The Yamaha A S500 amp works very well with the 4 ohm Elac UB5 speakers. There's a Klipsch SW 350 sub to help with the bottom. Interconnects are all Wireworld, speaker cables are SVS, a Furmam conditioner and a Onkyo C7030 CD player.
This is so pleasing visually (I'll assume the sound is where you want it!), which is something very much on my mind. Yours must be so comfortable to be in front of because of it's visual simplicity, something I'm working on.
