That would depend on your budget, however there are lots of 500 Series for under $400 US each. The one's below are single channel, so you need two for stereo. Except for the dbx 560A Pair Compressor/Limiter. The key is trying different ones until you find the chain that brings out the desired sound. Learning any of them will enhance your knowledge for when or if you decided to expand. The thing about gear is, it could be cheap but once it known to be on hit records. The price jumps because everyone wants it.
