Greetings - yes you are right, I did go for a massive downsize for various reasons. And tbh the much higher end stuff I had was all sold and there were quite a few more boxes! So I DID downsize. But then it grew, a bit. Obviously I'm now only running one TT, one integrated amp, etc - so the box count is far less. But yes, still a lot, I guess.
The Luxman is the 30W Class A one. I'd previously had one of these donkeys years ago and really loved it, so I guess I went back to what I knew I'd like. The TAD's were bought as standmounts and I am space restricted, and are quite fantastic. I auditioned them with many different amps before committing to the L590 AX II. It took about a year to run them in and get them working properly as very sensitive to placement. I put Gaia feet on them which helped a lot. Sub-wise, I have tried many and settled on x2 KC62, again, setting these up took ages - but I persevered and now they are seamless.
The system is really good. Obviously I can upgrade the LP12 and DAC module if I get itchy feet, but the system really hits the spot. I don't have that much regret over stuff I've owned and sold - I mean it's just stuff right? Some pieces I miss more than others, but if i missed them "that" much, I'd just buy them again.
