I suppose the question is, do you want to use your old equipment?
I'm not really acquainted with your pieces. I suggest clean them up, and do the proper maintenance. Set them up in a test area, and give the pieces a listen.. Go from there. Slowly bring up the volume and see what you think you need.
I pulled mine out 5 years ago after 16 years in moth balls.. Everything was great. C22, 2 MC240 (successive SN), Thoren TD124, 4 Adcom 565s, Sony ES777, there was a LOT more..
I got it all going.. IT WAS STOLEN... two months later. Just before I retired.. The insurance paid me 53,000. I still had receipts, of the original purchases. Under 15,000. I didn't know it, but I had replacement insurance. ALL the equipment went up 2-10 times...
Knew who did it...Couldn't prove it..
I built a lot of speakers through the years.. But there were a few that other made I liked.. I like planars and what they offer in reproduction..
I like small planars, no larger than 10" or so, BG, MonSoon, Infinity, Aurum Cantus, and the new GSRs..
I like DSP for the bass along with a SERVO bass sub system..
Even when my main system was in mothballs I still stopped by a local place. VMPS, great place...Closed down in 2012.
I went for speakers first because I knew I'd go back to Mac..
So, are you a DIY? that is a question too..
My only change in the line up was, Class d amps.. what an amzing bang for the buck... And Cary Audios V12Rs (I built them) wonderful.. and
Six Pac, a work in progress..They are not close to the V12s in SQ..
Everything else I replaced with Mac C2500, MC275s, MX110z, MX120,121. Happy as could be... KIDS. My daughter like it.. Big time..
Regards..
