    So I'm new to the forums as well as sort of new to the audio world. I'm a huge music lover and I'm looking into buying some new gear to take my listening to the next level. I don't really know what to look at in terms of building a good audio system so any information and help would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to AR!. First thing you should do is consider a budget and then let us know. What types of music do you listen to? CD's, Vinyl, MP3? Rock, Jazz, Electronica? Do you have any gear at all?

    Ditto. Systems can be had at many prices.
