Help me down grade

I used to spend a lot of time listening and enjoying my system (cj 11a, ai 3a, well tempered table with clearaudio wood, cary 303 hdch and energy vertitas 2.3s). I now listen to the system a few times a year. I'm getting married and have agreed to down grade to a "book shelf system" for space and $ considerations. My living room is very live. It has lots of windows, hard wood floors, and old plaster walls. I have found that tubes have been the only solution to mellow out the live room. So, is it possible to get a decent book self tube system for 1000 to 1500? Suggestions?

I agree with Jaybo. Totally. The next thing you know you will be relegated to the basement, with a single small chair positioned in the sweet spot.

Bring your wife into the photo. A small room represents an excellent opportunity to bet a really magical experience for a lot less money then it would take to fill a large room.

My advice, "think small but think big".
