Hey folks, I need to ask for your advice, suggestions, and ideas 🙂 I'd like to take my home audio setup to the next level and replace my current Edifier S3000Pro + Audiolab 6000N Play setup with something with a wider soundstage, deeper and faster bass, and better instrument separation. I basically have three setups that always have to include Tidal streaming. My budget is $4,000.

1. Sonus Faber Duetto as active speakers, without any extras, because they already have everything I need, including Tidal streaming. Cost is around $4,000.

2. Airpulse A300 Pro + Bluesound Node Icon. Cost is around $3,000.

3. Chario Constellation DELPHINUS MKII + one of the amplifiers below (though most are out of my budget).
- NAD M10 v3 - my favorite in this set
- NAD C 700 v2
- Cambridge Audio Evo 150SE
- Marantz Model 40n

The room is approximately 35m² and I have no space for floorstanding speakers. Which of these systems makes the most sense? And why?

Thanks in advance!
