Need some sane help choosing.

Fellow music friends!

Asking for some input regarding my next "move". There's been quite a few of them to be honest thru the years.

Went thru a lot of both speakers and amps, and somehow ended up with a pairing I couldn't have guessed when starting out all those years a go.

A Lyngdorf TDAI 1120 with Harbeth M30.2 XD. Really liked this pairing and kept it the longest out of all gear ever owned. Although now sold because our living room has gotten twice as big.

Some weeks ago a mint pair of Harbeth SHL5+ XD came for sale and I jumped on it, and now I need an amp again. I actually own an old Sansui AU 717 but that's for restoration.

So I've been thinking about going for the newer Lyngdorf TDAI 2210 as I'm familiar with Lyngdorf and the only thing missing with the 1120 was more power. Even the rest of my family used it quite a bit and it integrates well with the TV too. Anyway it's quite expensive at around 5k.

Have seen a little bit on the new Musical Fidelity M5/6XI and also on the Boxem Arthur 4216 E2. The latter needs a pre streamer dac, maybe Wiim Ultra or something similar.

Livingroom is 40 sqm, prefer to hook the system up to the TV and must be easy for the family to listen too.

In other words, not a lot of boxes that need switching on. Trigger or autosense (Boxem) is key in that regard and also WOL. Based in Norway and budget is preferably under $5k.

What are your thoughts and recommendations? Much appreciated.
