Wow, what a fun question....
i’d start with the new Naim Atom and add a small Harbeth or Spendor mini monitor.
Or for less $$, I’d go with a Naim 5si and Kef LS50’s (passive).
In my office, I have a Linn LK140 / Kolektor amp / preamp (great compact size) with Sony 2 way, ported bookshelf speakers that were $49 / pair brand new at Best Buy about 15 years ago. Amazing how good electronics will make some cheap speakers sound great. I may or may not be motivated to shop new speakers some day. To me, music is much more important to me than any box.
