I'm moving to a smaller house soon and alas my present audio stuff will
need changing for a smaller, more neighbour-friendly set-up.

At present I have a Bryston pre/power combo (250-watter) and a pair of
large Dynaudio floorstanders. Nothing-special CD-player as imho
cd-players are nothing special.

I've seen various favourable reviews around stuff like AVI integrated
amps and ATC or Dynaudio standmount speakers. Are these worth a whirl? I
was thinking of heading for the Cornflake shop at some stage as the
present lot came from there but there's so much BS around reviews, paper
specifications, etc. and it's been six years or more since I gave hifi a
glance. The present stuff "just works", incredibly well too. What I'm
looking for is classical and modern jazz/world without the neighbours at
the door.

I've also seen a Krell 300i integrated amp going ex-dem. Worth checking
or worth avoiding?



What not just use tour present kit and turn the volume down?

Yes, that had occurred to me. But no, it's too much for the space and
the speakers don't seem to give of their best at modest vols anyway.
