Ok

What is the best way ( I know 10000 tube amp with a 5000 tube pre amp) reasonable way to feed a set of AV2's.  I know budgets are always a consideration and in most things spending more should get you a better product.  I haven't even delved into audio equipment in years and the more I think about it the more I feel little behind the power curve.

just looking for ideas... yes they could include the high-end amp and pre-amp that would have to wait until I can transplant the money tree my father got from my grandfather..(wish he would tell me where it is).

Thanks for the help

What type of budget are you looking at? There are too many options to list all possibilities. A rough idea of your budget will narrow down options to something more manageable.

Is this for a simple 2-channel stereo?
Music only or also for TV / movies?

For starters I am looking for under $1000.  I think a AV setup might be the way to go

Used AV receivers are cheap and plentiful.  $50 off of Craigslist should play acceptable music.

Klaus can build you a cyclops integrated for $1095.

With that budget you have tons of options. For an all in one piece check out PS Audio’s Sprout 100. Some other options would be offerings from Schiit Audio, NAD, Emotiva, Outlaw Audio, IOTA, etc. With Scott’s suggestion of used equipment the possibilities are even greater. Three places I’ve bought used equipment from are the Trading Post here on Audio Circle, US AudioMart, and Audiogon.
