if you are so inclined. Speaker kits from internet companies could be a decent start (e.g. Madisound) and might save 2-10X the price of buying "off-the-shelf" speakers. Buying on the used market works well too except I'm leery about internet sales, even though I've yet to be burned. (Okay, one otherwise unauditioned amp was a little too bright). If you are planning to integrate with an HT system, get an HDMI 1.3 compliant receiver (Onkyo makes one reasonably priced) but only if you eventually plan on integrating with an HDTV. If there are no display requirements, consider an integrated amp.
There's DIY tube industry as well but I haven't played in that market (yet).
I can't offer any specific advise; I'm not in your budget range.
