Looking for a simple system


Im just getting back into putting together a system from scratch again after 20 years.  I have no physical media, so Ill be streaming everything.  All I want is a streaming Integrated and some bookshelf speakers.  Budget is 10K.  So far, I have narrowed my search for the integrated:  Atoll SDA300 Signature (150 watt class AB) or the Gato DIA-400S NPM (400 watt class D) and the speakers will be the new Buchardt E50's or the Gershman Studio 2's.  Im leaning toward the Gato and Buchardts.  Unfortunately, I can not audition any of these products so I am doing my best to learn about them before I pull the trigger.  I currently have a JBL sub - I bought for a home theater project i never started and an older OPPO Universal player (if I wanted to get back into CD's.)  Just looking for the groups opinion on these or something else I have not even considered.  thanks...

Go with the Electrocompaniet ECI 6DX MKII. I own pass 250, Mac 352, Accuphase 380, Hegal 390 and the above. You cannot go wrong with the electro. Check the reviews out. I am astounded how good this amp is. I also own 12 pairs of bookshelf speakers. The Buchardts are outstanding. I have the special editions model and I love them. I also, have the E 50’s on the way. Mine will b here Monday. In my collection is the PS Audio Fr 5. This is also an outstanding speaker. It has some of the best treble I’ve heard.

i have not received my E50’s yet. I mistakenly thought they were coming since I had a postal tracking coming from Denmark. It was a Cd I ordered and forgot about 🙁
