Completely restructuring my modest system..

I want to go from 5.1 to two channel by selling most of my gear and putting the money back into a better sounding two channel system.

I currently have:

HT Receiver: NAD T752
CD/DVD: NAD T562

B&W 602 S3
B&W 600 S3
B&W ASW 650 sub
matching center...

I figure I'll have somewhere around $2500 if I sell it all. That's just a ballpark, but I'm not necessarily interested in selling all my gear. I just want to restructure in a way that's going to give me the most pleasing two channel possible.

I'm open to suggestions as long as I don't have to shell out much money. If I can save money, that'd be great, too.

All suggestions are appreciated.

Moderators, if I've posted this in the wrong forum, please feel free to move this thread.

Thanks,

I guess I should ass that I primarily listen to jazz on this system. I also listen to light vocal stuff, and occasionally I get into rock and roll. I'm not really looking for a genre specific system, rather something that performs pretty well across the board.

My gripe right now is that the system sounds too bright. The highs are just too sharp for me to really enjoy.

Since NAD gear is known for sounding warm and somewhat soft up top, the primary culprit for the brightness that you complain about would probably be your speakers. If you sold the NAD gear and went to more neutral sounding components with these same speakers in two channel mode, it would be even brighter. The logical deduction is that you may not only end up selling your 5 channel electronics, but also the speakers that went with it. Think of this as a chance for a fresh start : ) Sean

I am willing to take the leap, at this point. I've had all this gear for just over a year, and I can't quite adjust to it.

Problem is, I don't quite know where to start.
