My ears are ready to retire!

Thank you all for great recommendations and for sharing with me your thoughts on downsizing.

Hello,
Before this turns into a 1000 post thread can you give exact details?
room size
type of music
what hour keeping
book shelf or floor stand speakers
close to wall or in the room
tube/ SS/ or a mix
used with tv or just music
color of products
and the final cost $$$.
Right now I’m at a Amazon Echo $100
Their was a good post about detailing the questions in the past. NAD M33 with Revel B126 and matching subs $13000. Blue sound built in. There is a new usb card and HDMI card options if you want video switching. Runs cool and speakers are beautiful. Hegel series in charcoal or flat white with a Lumin or less expensive BlueSound Node option with KEF LS50 Meta and the new sub that is 12”x 12”x 12” that goes down to 20hz in its sleep. The KEFs and BlueSound can be ordered in black or white. Starting at $6500 with Hegel20. If you are in the Chicagoland area I go to my
Local store: https://holmaudio.com/
They can ship. If not please find your local brick and mortar store. I hope this helped to start the journey. 

I agree with cakyol

A ’Loudness’ fletcher munson automatic filter boosting bass and highs progressively only at low volumes would be a great feature to have, for any ears actually. For me, at low volumes, it preserves involvement with the music.

Most modern equipment, say that very interesting McIntosh unit, other choices, do not incorporate ’loudness’.

Chase RLC-1 Remote Line Controller has ’loudness’ built-in

It would not work with modern wireless, however any source via RCA cables could go to it first just for it’s automatic loudness feature, then to your system, whatever you buy, IF it has an RCA input option

This one is sold, but it shows it well

They pop up on eBay, none listed now, it can easily be added later if one shows up.

Hello,
CAKYOL suggested tone control. If you need this I suggest the Parasound Hint6. Fully loaded integrated amp. It has a basic phono stage and the remote lets you turn on and off the sub. Great for apartment living. You still need a streamer- BlueSound Node or Lumin. And speakers. Another option is DALI speakers. Very, Very good for the money. Oberon 7s speakers. Total cost without a sub is around $5000 plus tax. It has a built in crossover for the sub. I still say the KEF kc62 sub since it is so small. $1500 for the sub. https://holmaudio.com/

Get the Vinnie Rossi integrated amp with built in DAC is you need that.  Not cheap but one of the best built and sounding components I have heard and I build audio components.  I just don't build integrated (at least not yet)!

Lower priced would be Electrocompaniet, Naim, and Luxman.

Happy Listening.
