Moving again...system finally complete...back to starting over


After one plus year in a brand new condo we have decided to sell and move again. My system was just completed to my satisfaction. Happy with it and will now sell off most of the equipment because I am tired of storing and lugging large heavy boxes. 

My question is...are there any systems (same stack/manufacturer....eg Naim??) that present overall very decent sound with smooth highs and decent bass? Something easy to use with quality amplification. 

To give a sense of where I am now: Pass INT-25, Spendor Classic 100's with stands, Luxman dac, Sugden phono pre, Luxman PD171 table. I do not have to go to the same price point that the above represents, in fact I am ready to simply compromise for decent sound from smaller, more manageable components. Room is agnostic for the purpose of the conversation as I think I will be listening slightly  'nearerfield' (3'-6' away). 

Sorry for the length. Help and direction is appreciated. Thank you.

If you ’finally’ have a system you find quite good, I would move it.

a. pack some yourself

b, TT remove platter, secure tonearm/protect cartridge, fasten dust cover, take it in the car with you.

c. good mover can pack all the rectangular stuff for you.

d. the speakers: perhaps sell them and evaluate new/used ones to be delivered to new address (or local pickup if you get lucky.

OP

IOW, you will move, know where, but have not yet chosen which house/condo to buy? Thus unsure of size/shape of listening room?

I would make the listening room the 1st priority!!!! then on course everything else, especially what the wifey wants!

A good reason to buy efficient speakers is it reduces the amp's price/size/weight and increases placement options

AND, it is much easier to try tubes due to those factors.
