The room is about 55m2 and the speakers can be 20/30cm away from the wall.
And, yes, I have tons of CDs and Vinyls and I enjoy the ritual
In the future I'm thinking of adding the Streamer & Ripper Innuos Zen Mini MK3 to the system and start ripping some of the CDs. But for now it's out of budget.
Ok, I am not familiar with the DT8, but I like Proac speakers, and I agree that they will require good partnering electronics.
For minimal box count, I would consider the Naim Uniti Star or Linn Majik DSM (the first will require the addition of a phonostage - Simaudio Moon 110lp v2 would be the one, the Linn will require the addition of a CD transport, like the Audiolab CDT6000 or Cambridge Audio CXC).
For better amplification, the Naim Nova would be my go-to, or even ND5XS 2 + Nait XS3 if it fits your budget. The latter system also has the benefit of an integrated phono pre-amp, but neither have a disc spinner - but they are, of course, better. If you don't mind buying sh, replace the Nait XS3 with a used Supernait 2.
Now, if you don't mind mixing gear and having different looks and high box count, you could get a second hand Cambridge Audio CXN v2 for a streamer + CXC CD transport and a used Naim Nac 202 + Nap200dr (+NAPSC maybe), and this will be both cheaper and better than the stuff above.
I also haven't heard the EAT turntable, but seems to be well praised everywhere, so it should be a safe bet - change the cart to a Nagaoka mp 150 or Audio Technica VM740ML when the equipped Ortofon expires.
As for the speakers, 30cm is not Ideal for most of the stuff out there, but do consider anything from the Focal Aria range, and also there's currently 2 pairs of heavily discounted Revel Performa 3 f206 on the bay (they are new, from a dealership I think) - going for 1800 pounds for the pair (they normally cost something like 3500-4000).
One thing about the Linn stuff, they come with some room correction software that could help with sub-optimal speaker placement, so that might be worth considering.
Of course, if you can, try to audition anything you're considering, only you can decide what you like.
P.S.: the Copland in one of my other replies is also very good, and might be a better partner for the Revels than the Naim stuff - you just need to check what it's missing and add the other parts to see if it would fit your budget.
I also highly recommend Tellurium Q Black 2 speaker cable, or at least Witchhat N2 if you go for Naim stuff.
