Here's what i found in the $400 to 600 u.s. range, NEW, and based on reviews worth the price.
1. integrated amp - Musical Paradise, model MP-401 (tube/24 watts per side depending on tubes used; designed in Canada; headphone jack); cost - $700 u.s.
2. loudspeakers - Blumenstein Orcas (single driver; hand-assembled; made in U.S.A.); cost - $500 u.s.
3. {C.D. player/Turntable - not researched yet}
note - i have not listened to the above equipment and/or how well they might integrated together. i also have no experience dealing with the above two companies.
