One box solution

If where you are going is a nursing home, and not an assisted living facility, I would not sell your home to pay the $7,000 per month.

Your home is not a countable asset to qualify for Medicaid.

You would have to spend your other assets,  but once your other assets are spent down , Medicaid will start paying the bills without the house being sold.

You may want to speak to an Elder Law Attorney about that.

If it is assisted living and not a nursing home then you can ignore my post.

Wish you the best.

Some good suggestions so far. KEF LS50 are nice and simplest option, but no headphone output.  Weiss 501 is a highly regarded streamer/DAC/pre with headphone output for about $9k - pair it with some good active monitors via XLR is another way to go. Best of luck n your new situation 

@lonejoe I am going to assisted living, it’s a nice apartment with a separate bedroom and is designed for a wheelchair which is in my future. It will be nice not to worry about cooking, cleaning, shopping and laundry…I am not counting on Medicare and Medicaid, there will be cuts in both.I will be looking for a beautiful widow lol,to listen to music with me….

My mother made it to age 101, she lived in an excellent retirement setup; 1st 2 bedroom, then 1 bedroom, then assisted living, then nursing for the last few years, so I went thru all these stages with her, each move required different solutions.

when young, chasing full range, bookshelf speakers need subs

but when down the road, bookshelf speakers do not need subs, and they would be a problem in a facility with adjacent and nearby occupants, 

you might prefer your door open some times. even if you close your door, you don't want to have a problem every time your door is opened by visiting staff which progressively becomes beyond frequent.
