I’m looking to downsize to a smaller speaker and amp combo than my current LaScalas and Elekit 300B setup. I’m in a smaller apartment and I think I’ll be fine with something less expensive. Thinking $3500 range for both, but have some flexibility. I’m in the US. I listen to mostly jazz at lower volume levels. I have a digital front end (DAC, streamer, CD).

I’d go for either stand mount or floor speakers, and an appropriate solid state amp. I want the sound to be good of course, especially mids. I’m getting older so my high frequency hearing is limited anyway. And I have a sub. I could go for something as small as the KEF LS50 Meta, or maybe something like the Zu DW 6 or DWX. But I think there’s a lot I’m just not aware of since I haven’t been obsessing on it for a few years.

So I’m wondering what you folks would buy in this realm. The point is to simplify and downsize either a little or a lot, and not have a lot invested. Thanks!
