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 I was gonna , had to move and I really loved my system and the years of saving and putting it finally together and had no complaints about it it would be a no brainer for me to move it and keep it. I know the blood sweat and tears that went into building it. Good luck whatever ya do. 

How about getting some help from this community?  I suspect any number of us would be delighted to help you move and set up the system.  What an opportunity, in fact!  Where do you live?

I’m in Hingham MA on the south shore of Boston. I’m fine with the strength to move everything. I also have a 20 yo son who is always ready to help when he is home from college. It’s just the size of boxes, storing them later, new room. You all have been great trying to help me out thinking this through. I think I will keep it and see where we land and what the new layout will be. Will update for those interested. Thank you all!!

 

Hi Blackhawkskid6,

Audio Science Review have a ‘review’ on an older Devialet model. Pay no mind to it. The Devialet is sensational as an amp, and in fact has a very good DAC too. I hope you get a chance to demo it in a decent system.

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!
