don’t have direct experience with any of those components but all sound like solid choices to me, especially mirin the Wharfedale Lintons—never heard them in person but read good things about them plus I used to have some older wharfedale speakers I liked so mire the brand, would be tempted to order pair of the lintons if I had need for them

you might want to check out this guy’s YouTube channel for more ideas and/or see if he ever reviewed things you’re ordering:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdb8wLd73Tg

he has several vids of system ideas for various budgets and many good reviews of gear at various price points

I will mostly stream music with the fancy Digital to Analog wireless converter, These LP selection are just a few I picked that were available through the online retail place.

obviously many more great selections, these were kind of just random selections I know will sound great to test a new system.

I stumbled on that channel a few days ago, did not dig deep into his content but will check it out further, seems very knowledgeable.

my system is a mix of old and new, I'm a GenX I grew up on Vinyl then tape then CD

Really CD's are awesome but digital is digital and the streaming capabilities have made digital hard copies obsolete in my opinion. But nothing can touch the sound of some albums on vinyl for authentic analog.

when I was 10-14 I used to play with my fathers outrageous HIFI vintage stereo and LP collection of about 2000 LP's. I remember many of them. Play them for hours. Look at the art, carefully clean the records. Top end system Bang & olfsen Pioneer amps

And the sound of Led Zeppelin , Pink Floyd and just everything cranikin out the Double stack of 4-way 15 inch horn loaded real wood fischer cabinets was unreal...

I don't have space for that, but will put together a tight little system to fit small Hawaii apartment living.

sounds good brah, agree about vinyl, it’s mostly what I listen to for serious listening at home especially of older music since I like some music from all decades, main exception is stuff from the 90s which was mainly the CD era. protip: if you have a good used record store near you you can probably find original copies of most of the records u listed that will be cheaper than the reissues and probably even sound better if they’re in good condition and clean, also look up info on best ways to wet clean records if u are not familiar with record cleaning—good cleaning makes huge difference, especially for used records (there’s pricey vacuum machines available for record cleaning but there’s also good cheap manual methods, lot of info on it available online so I won’t go into it)
