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 had small system like what you're looking for now a few years ago. Wonderful sound, beautiful to look at, and within your budget if bought used.
Quad 11L speakers, Antique Sound Labs integrated tube amp, and a cd player such as an NAD, Cambridge Soundworks, or Sony CD/SACD player would do the trick.
