Hifi System - Advice?

[Gravy]

I am looking for a new seperates system and have narrowed it down to the following:

AMPLIFIERS:

Cambridge Audio Azur 650A
Marantz PM6003
NAD C326BEE

CD PLAYERS:

Cambridge Audio Azur 650C
Marantz CD6003
NAD C545BEE

SPEAKERS:

Wharfedale Diamond 10.1
Mordaunt-Short Mezzo 2
Mordaunt-Short Aviano
DALI Lektor 2
EB Acoustics EB1
B&W 685


Does anyone have any of these in their system or any reccomendations? I am leaning towards the Cambridge Audio and Mezzo 2 setup but am not 100% sure. I will be popping along to Richer Sounds on Saturday for a listen of that setup though but are the Mezzo 2's £150 better than the Wharfedales for example?

The only particular recommendation I'd make is: consider second hand. If you buy well then it'll hold its value better than any car.

I certainly would consider that, absolutely no question so long as it was from a reputable source or I could hear it first!

Fair advice, thank you all. I suppose I was hoping there may be a clear stand out system but it seems it is very room, music and ear dependent.

I am aware of Mike Manning and will pay a visit to him next week if possible, I will try Creative Audio at the weekend after Richer Sounds in Chester
