Need advice on buying stereo system

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a stereo system (will be mainly used for music and NOT home theater\cinema).
These are some sets I have listened to, and I am interesting in your opinion regarding the companies & models (if you had any experience with it).
The first 2 sets are brand new while the last 2 are used (i.e. from second hand or display).

1st set:
Amp

CD Review: Lookin' At Monk - Johhny Griffin, Eddie Lockjaw Davis Quintet

Forums

Label: OJC Recorded: February 1961, Total Time: 39:04
Performance:***** Sonics: *****

Let me first say that I am a sax fan when it comes to jazz. While artists like Coltrane and Sonny Rollins are usually talked about when people talk about jazz giants I believe that both Griffin and Davis are overlooked. That said this is one hard bop swingin' album with great soft sonics that sound like your listening through a tube amp (easy now tube devotees !).
