Hi All, I've got $2000 to spend on a new modern hifi system, including headphones! Here's what I'm thinking at this point:

Turntable is a Fluance RT-82 (Ortofon OM10), not planning on upgrading that (yet).

Integrated Amp: Emotiva BasX TA1 Amp/Receiver - $600

Speakers: Emotiva B2+ Speakers - $500

Headphone Amp: Fiio K7 Headphone Amp - $200

Headphones: Hifiman Edition XS Headphones - $400

Streamer: Wiim Pro Streamer - $150

Speaker Stands: (Undecided): $50

Cables:
Micca 14 Gauge Pure Copper Speaker Wire, 12 Feet 2 Pack - $40
Amazon Basics RCA (x2) Cables - $20 total

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My questions:

1) I realize taste is a big factor here, but anything in that list seem really out of line or a really poor choice?

2) How should I attach the Wii Pro to the integrated amp? Aux? Coax? SPDIF?

3) Am I missing anything important?

My big challenge is my listening space, but I'll have to figure that out as I go and I think of that as a separate part of the equation.

Thanks!
Baron

With regards to the Wiim, coax can support higher sample rates than optical. Whether you'll notice any difference is a different matter as optical goes pretty high anyway.
