Alright everyone!! Time to spend someone else's $$$$$ :woohoo:

I have fallen in love with GE and PrimaLuna. Any recommendations which combo would work considering: Budget: $10k, Room 16 x 20 x 8 (Carpet, windows back wall, bookshelves adjacent, desk other adjacent, front has bed and piano). Listening preference 80% CD/ 20% Vinyl), enjoy classic rock, classical, jazz, blues, piano). No desire to blow walls/ceiling out! Looking at adding Rega RP3/6 and Oppo BDP 105 Universal Player (Combined $2,100-3000). So, Figure I have around $7,000+ for an amp and speakers!

Thanks for shopping with me!! :laugh:

Welcome CraigL,
I LIKE the way you think already, we are happy to help you spend your money!!!! ha ha
Seriously, welcome, this is a great forum and there will be lots of help here.
The GEt line offers many different ways to put together just the system for you, and all of them are GREAT.
I always recommend to guys to get the best speaker they can afford, because in the future you will never regret it and it will be part of your family for a very long time. Saying that, it would be Triton Ones I would recommend, but that would only leave you around $2K to spend on an amp (planning on an integrated?). I don't know the PrimaLuna prices, but I would think you might be a little crowded. If so, then I have no hesitation at all recommending the Triton 2s, which is what I have, they too are awesome!!!!
I just don't think you can go wrong. Have fun putting together a great system, and please let us know what you decide and how it sounds and works out for you?
Enjoy the ride,
God Bless,
Wayne
God bless the child that's got his own.

Thanks, Wayne!!

Definitely Considering the Triton Two's...my heart wants the One's ;-) Not sure if One's a little "overkill" (Is there such a thing in Hi-Fi??) This is the amp I am seriously favoring! www.primaluna-usa.com/product-main/2015-03-06-17-06-45/hp-int-2

After continued devious planning, I am thinking can do either speaker and still get Rega RP6 and Oppo CD player!! :cheer:

CraigL,
IF you can swing it and get the Triton Ones AND that PrimaLuna amp, and the turntable and Oppo, DO IT man!!!!!
That should be a KILLER system!!!!!
Seriously. Let us know IF you do and how it sounds? We will be drooling.
Have fun with building this system, it should rock!
God Bless,
Wayne

Get the ones if you have 7k to spend and Rogue Sphinx integrated for $1200 and you have plenty leftover.

The T1's with an PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated...WOW, Awesome. Primaluna's are built like tanks and they look Marvelous. The Dialogue Premium HP Integrated paired with the T2's...I do not think you would be disappointed.
D-Sonic m3a-600m Mono > McIntosh MC152 > Primaluna ProLogue Premium Preamp > Oppo UDP205 > Decware ZLC > Triton Reference > Isoacoustics Gaia 2 > Canare 4S11 Speaker Cables > Audience Forte 3, Anticable L3 & Shunyata Venom PC's

Every great performance deserves an Audience!
