I have put together a Hi-Fi Music System for myself consisting of Q Acoustics 2020i speakers, Marantz PM5004 amp and M Audio 2496 sound card.
I have been reading audio related stuff for some time now and I am technically trained in computers.
I have also been following my audio hobby for 5 years now starting from ordinary $50 / Rs 1500 speakers.
I have long given thought to putting together a great system that would cost even lesser than my system but still provide equivalent performance. My system costed me around $700 / Rs 50,000.
In fact I have put together 3 systems according to 3 budgets and quality of sound that can be expected from it.
So without further ado here they are:
Speakers - Yamaha
HS5/JBL LSR 305
