I am sure many of us occasionally are asked to suggest a complete audio system for an all-in price of $10,000 or less (excluding sales tax).
For the purpose of this discussion:
-- let's work only with new components (putting systems together for non-hobbyists with used components is two steps further than they want to go!) and the current MSRPs thereof,
-- select either an analog source or a digital source (but not both or multiple sources),
-- size does not matter (meaning you do not have to limit yourself to bookshelf or stand-mounted speakers), and
-- tubes are okay.
Please feel free to nominate the components you wish for such a complete system. (Please refrain from criticising the components of the systems suggested here by others. There are many other threads for component comparisons and debates.)
