Recommendations for Amp/speaker combo for $10,000

Looking for advice on an amp, pre amp, speaker combination for $10,000. Would like to try tube amps. Music only system. Listen to classical (symphonic, chamber), opera and jazz. Room size is 16' x 18'. Will use various digital and analogue sources.

Agree with RW above, speakers and room match are critical early steps as is overall system matching.

Harbeths are balanced and revealing on jazz and classical and positioning is important.

If pre owned: Pass Labs XP-10, Ayre V-5xe, Harbeth C7-ES3

If new: LFD NCSE, Harbeth C7-ES3

These suggestions based on home audition in a similarly sized room.
