Salute, everybody!
I have been studying hi fi forums and magazines for weeks to decide which system I can get for 1500 USD. The system is a present for my relative, who is a musician. So the task is really tough and the budget is limited. I know that the best way to choose is to listen, but the problem is that I don't have a good ear. Besides, taking into account that it is a present I don't trust my opinion as I'm not an expert. To make it short I need the best system for jazz, piano and symphonic music I can get for the price mentioned.
I was thinking of the Marantz Cd6003/ Marantz PM6003 or Yamaha AS-500/ Monitor Audio Bronze BX2. All these are 5-star peaces of gear at "what hi fi", but there are plenty of others highly rated components. And even if this combination if perfect for 1500 USD which amplifier should I choose for jazz, piano and symphonic music? Is Yamaha AS-500 really so ahead of everything in this price category? Do all those components really sound great together?
And if it's not too much trouble for may be you'll be able to recommend the cables for the system you believe is the best.
Sorry for lots of questions but I do really need an expert opinion here. And sorry for my English. I'm from Ukraine so I can't be completely sure that it is flawless.
Have a nice day and thank for Your help!
