The Blusound and Rega seem like good choices.

Music Hall turntables are also very good and reasonably priced.

I would recommend that you look at Monitor Audio or Focal speakers rather than B & W, which I consider very overpriced and not all that good. The Focal Chorus 716 would be a good choice, or the Monitor Audio Silver 6 @90 db/watt. The Marantz CD 6006 is a very good-sounding CD player at a low price; great value at $500. If you really want SACD, the Marantz SA-8005 is a good one, but three times as much money. Unless you already have an SACD collection, you might want to stick to regular CDs.

To stay within that budget, you will have to dial back on the amplifier power. You should not need that kind of power in any case, unless you make the mistake of getting some low-sensitivity speakers (don't do that). I would recommend the Marantz 8006 integrated amp, which is $1200 in the USA. To get 150 watts per channel you will have to spend almost that whole budget on the amp.

Hi all, my first post here. I have a limited amount of money to spend on a new audio system. I have been doing my homework and require the following;

Turntable
CD player, possibly SACD
Streaming device with MQA capability for a Tidal (and others) subscription
150 Watts or so stereo amplifier
Floor standing loudspeakers

My current system is a hotch potch Of stuff I have picked up gratis or for buttons. My budget is £3000. Not much but that’s it I’m afraid.

This is what I am thinking of;

Bluesound Node or Node 2 for the streamer
Rega turntable
B&W 684 S2 or 683 S2 loudspeakers

I need some help please with suggestions for a CD player and also for an amp with enough inputs for the 3 sources. Also, are the 683 S2 worth the extra over the 684 S2 loudspeakers? The amp and CD player will ideally have an app for my iPad and iPhone but failing that IR remote will suffice.

Anything else I should consider or any suggestions for alternative kit?

Thanks in advance.

You might look at the Outlaw receiver. Definitely big on power, inputs and features.
