System advice

Room dimensions?  Room acoustic properties?  Any issues with speaker placement?  Etc.

We need to know if you have children in the room or pets. Is your house on a slab,.basement, or crawlspace? Do you have textured walls or smooth? How old are you (there's no need for full range if you're older and can't hear well)?  

(I'm being very facetious but some people here aren't and I don't think they can ever just answer a question without trying to sound like know-it alls). For speakers, I'd take a hard look at GoldenEar Triton One.R.

for speakers you should definitely look at the monitor audio platinum 300 G2 they're discontinued now because the G3 is now out so you can get a great price for them and the reviews on them have been stellar.

OP,

Giving your desired sonic character… I definitely recommend auditioning the Linn.

You forgot to mention shoe size😁

I was thinking of recommending any of the McIntosh integrateds, but the clarity may not be up to par with your expectations. The musicality is fantastic, though, and those integrateds can power anything. Also, the DA2 module is fantastic! I have a very high-end DAC and enjoy comparing both. You need a $5K DAC to better the MAC. 

As far as speakers, a previous poster mentioned the KEF LS 50 Metas. You need to have a listen. I can not believe what these speakers do, a price/performance steal. 

Best of luck!
