I would suggest buying used equipment if you have cash.  I still
like the old Thorens turntables and MacIntosh tube amplifiers.
For speakers - B&W.  Jim Boyk, who teaches audio at Caltech,
replaaced the resistors in a tube amp with metal film resistors
and obtained greatly improved quality.  rabbit!jj makes some
nice loudspeakers.
