New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
Yes I understand your concerns which are all very valid, but changing speakers is always a challenge and more so if a home demonstration is not possible. But, nothing venture nothing gain. Audio shows have their limitations in assessing differen... 
Separates vs Integrated
In my earlier system I went all the way up the Naim amplifier chain to the NAP 500DR and  the 552DR together with the 101 tuner. Between them they took up a helluva lot of rack space and with the separate power supplies a helluva lot of cables. A... 
Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition
I have heard very good reports on Degritter which I am sure is a better buy. I use a KL Audio which is sadly no longer made, but if you can find a used one in good condition it would be a very good buy  
Upgrade from WIlson Sabrina
I have had YG Carmel 1s, Kipod Signature passive and Hailey Reference 2.2s. The last is.of course the best. but too big for your room. I wasn't impressed by the YG Peak series at Munich a couple of years ago. Have you considered a pair of used C...

I am glad the responses were helpful. I, and I am sure other contributors will be interested in, is whether you do buy some used speakers, which ones, and how successfully. Could you update in due course please?

Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song?
Good luck and do let us know how it goes.  
$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.
With that size of budget it will be easy to be tempted by quantity, range of sources. IME you should first ruthlessly analyses your priorities re sources. I am a big fan of FM radio. I have a Magnum Dynalab 109 tuner with upgraded Phillips 6922 N... 
New DACs High End Munich 2023
There is a new Korean brand Waversa which I am hearing good things about which you may want to checkout  
Suggestions for Phono Preamp
Just to add my voice to those recommending Goldnote to you. I had the PH10 to which I added the separate PSU which improves things still further. The sound quality is top class  at its price point and it's a dream to use. Nice clear legible scre...
