Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1

There is a Marten dealer in Charlotte, NC.  About 4 hours.  I have been in touch.  He has the Byrd 2 on the floor.

Funny you mention a one box solution.  Jeff Fritz gave a glowing review of the new McIntosh MA 9000.  I also may like the dartzeel LHC-208.  So no, I am a music lover and want to get back to just enjoying...

@jglaken...What size is your room?

Keep us posted on your buying decision. I hope you will audition the Bryd2 speaker and report back here.
Happy Listening!

jglacken, once again, its your money and your journey but have you selected speakers and is jeff fritz familiar with what you like? Your room? The mac and the dart are quite different. Additionally, the Marten Birds are amazing and yet, much like other manufacturers like Wilson and Focal, the Birds dont sound like the Djangos. Good luck on your journey but be patient unless buyin and selling is also a passion. Not that theres anything wrong with that!
