Downsizing advice

My own experience (for what it's worth) is that I downsized from a combination of a rich sounding ss preamp and mono tube amps to a ss int amp. I could not live with the sound. I tried ss separates and another ss int amp. I could not live with the sound with any of those. Then I stumbled onto a very cost effective solution. I picked up an AMC tube amp on ebay for $700 and a Quicksilver LS for $600. While this is noone's idea of a dream system, it sounds very nice for the money and I would prefer it over almost any ss int amp except, of course, for the Rowland. I was downsizing more to conserve space and make my system less conspicuous, but I ended up spending much less than I imagined and got sound that is as good or better from where I came. The only downsides were the losses I incurred buying and selling the ss stuff.

i'm with suggestions for plinius 8200 that has a well-controlled bass and tube-like mids and highs. you can also get it used for $1.5k and be surprise how good this unit for the price and how can it beat separates.

Look into the Conrad Johnson CAV50. You may find one for around $1500

I think you can down size and still go with seperates and still stay in your budget. I'm not that familiar with your gear but judging by your choices you might like the (all used) better C-J solid state seperates or the better Electrocompaniet integrated.
