Giving in to my weaknesses


Hey guys,

First of all I am an audiophile from 40 years ago and always tried to obtain the best sound and musicality from my equipment. But now I'm older (63) and my ears are not as sharp or discerning as they were 40 years ago.

I have come to the conclusion that spending thousands of dollars on separate amps and Pre/pro with outstanding DACs and the "ultimate" in sound quality is just not that important. I've destroyed my eardrums listening to beautiful music and that has cost me in the long run

Now I still listen to LZ, Floyd, and many others but just don't need the equipment that offers the nuances in sound I will never appreciate.

Looking for a mid range amp/pre amp or multi-channel receiver that will get me a good vibe for music and have the balls for movies.

Marantz has always been a favorite especially for music. Open for discussion. 

Thanks

What are you using now, what improvements are you looking for, and what sound characteristics are most important to you?  What’s the rest of the equipment in your system?  Is your priority 2-channel or HT?  What is your ballpark price range?  You really haven’t given us much to go on here, hence all the questions.  The more info you give, the better recommendations you’ll get here.
