I have a whole separate lower budget system waiting in the wings, brand new...just incase sheet hits fan and I gotta unload my more expensive stuff. I could live happily ever after with my lower budget stuff.
If you had to downsize to smaller, more buget...
If you were forced to downsize and have to live with lower priced and perhaps smaller gear, what would you choose in amp, dac and speakers, etc., that best reflects your music/soundtrack tastes that your best gear has given you, albeit perhaps to a lesser degree?
What positive qualities are gained while minimizing SQ issues do the equipment choices working together provide or avoid?
Might help those downsizing or looking for a smaller, less expensive but competent system.
How low in price can you go? What's you experience?
