Newbie Hi-Fi advice

Hi, I'm looking for a first hi-fi separates music system. Having read "What Hi-fi?" I've narrowed down my choices of products. I've been told that speakers is where I should spend most of my budget, and I'll go along with that.

My budget is around £500-800. I need an amp, speakers and CD player. The speakers I'm after are the B&W 685's or possibly the Kef IQ5se's. But where can I buy these for a reasonable price? I can't find any on play, amazon and pricerunner. I usually buy games, cds and I'm fine but this is a whole new world I'm oblivious to. Can anybody recommend some suppliers please?

The other question I have is, which CD player and amp can be recommended to use with the speakers I mentioned? Some people seem to think there's a difference, so I would appreciate any advice.
Amp budget £100-200.
CD player budget £100-200.

I should mention, this system is just for playing CD's.
Thanks in advance
