There's no such thing as too much music.
Fair enough. How many CDs do you own if I may ask?

With a collection of just over 6300 titles, downsizing is always near the front of my mind! lol
OMG! I don't think I would want that many. I tend to revisit favourite scores and with such a number it would be near impossible.

We have just about the same amount of titles Spymaster. Me I'm just above 6400!
What I do, since everything I have gets converted digitally, is keep all the stuff I love and that will always be in the permanent collection, into an "active" HD, a version of which is in Apple Lossless so it all shows up in my iTunes.
Then I have another HD, more like a basement or an attic. That's where I put a lot of stuff I collect but don't really listen to, or where I put older versions of titles that just got an expanded or remastered release, that way my main library doesn't need to have 4 versions of Poltergeist II, just the latest one which is awesome is what I need.
It isn't really downsizing in the sense that I don't get rid of music or titles, but it appears as I do since I'm constantly removing or replacing things in my iTunes.
The actual cd's all go to storage in boxes, after they've been ripped and processed.

That's kind of the approach I'm moving to. But living in a city precludes storage in a basement, guilt about selling CDs and keeping digital, and no dream binders to store inserts and CDs.

I've been considering weeding out the collection for years. Far too many scores I just never listen to, and don't really care about. There are composers whose work I would never weed, but others, who have some scores I find just uninteresting. (For instance, I sometimes think I could weed out everything where Goldsmith used a harmonica, or Bernstein that danged ondes martinot. Not all, mind you, but certainly several.)
Might even let go of TAXI DRIVER, for instance. Good score, just something I will probably not listen to much.
I'm still considering. We'll see....
