Thinking about simplifying to an integrated amp
Any Accuphase, and the Yamaha 3200 are both “set it and forget it” end-game amps in my opinion.  Both are simple, classically styled, and bulletproof.   Sound is said to on the warm side for both, which is my preference. I own an Accuphase, and s... 
Siltech says TMR sold me a fake cable but I want to believe TMR

To Equalize or Not to Equalize
I have the Schitt Loki Max, pre Forkbeard, and it is a great piece.  Recommended.   One downside: The only way to turn it on and off is the tiny power switch located on the back panel.  If you keep your gear in a rack, like I do, it could be an i... 
Why do you listen to records?
Because when put on a record I get to surrender to 20 minutes of mystery.  Sometimes it beats picking/curating each and every note.

Is bi amping worth it ?
if you do wind up looking for an external crossover, this is the one I would look at. All analog, no digital in the signal path.  I don’t have personal experience with it, but I have researched it a good bit, and found positive reviews.  if you do... 
Single driver full range speakers
I like the idea of an active crossover. With one in place, you could always add a third speaker set, something smaller for a tweeter? If you wanted to bi-amp or tri-amp. Below is the link to the one I’ve always wanted to try. 100% analog. Also, y...
