RE: i got $2000 to spent for a stereo system, what should i get

All the other messages concerning subjectivity aside, I would put the Mackie powered monitor speakers on your short list to audition or consider. They have a great low range, powerful but clean bass, and (perhaps most importantly) they have built in amps. That means that all you'd have to buy would be a CD player (with volume output) and speaker wire (assuming you don't want tape deck, turntable...). You could also get a small mixer, CD player, and wire, if the CD player didn't have volume output.

I recently installed the Mackies in a new performing arts center (as speakers in the Choir and Orchestra room). Even though they're designed as monitors (clean and 'true' reproduction), they are VERY powerful, filling up the room with ease.

Check out the latest issues of the stereo mags -- several of them have compilations and reviews of best products.

Here's the Mackie:

Have fun with the search!
