Hi,

I am looking to buy my first 2-channel system. So far, I have stayed with grado headphones and now have the budget to buy a mid level system.

After reading several discussion and review pages, I have the following combination that fits my budget ($4000).

Vandersteen 2Ce signature speakers ($1600)
Rotel RC 1070 preamp ($500)
Rotel RB 1080 amplifer ($1000)
Rotel RCD 1072 CD player/NAD C542 CD player ($700/$500)
Denon DRW585P Tape player ($250)

This system will be for audio only (no tv/dvd). My listening will primarily be (western) classical music as well as voice (indian classical music). The room I will be listening in is 20 ft x 14 ft x 8 ft.

I would be most grateful if anyone could let me know if the above configuration makes sense. Any other suggestions will be most useful as well.

I apologize if this has been answered before. I searched through the discussions and could not find an answer.

Thanks in advance. Regards,
Sanjay
