Good to see you here.  Several reviewers of the Audio press still list the Cardas Golden Reference as an interconnect preference.
Most will concur about the Clear/ Beyond being much better speaker cables.

Happy Listening!

I will second the ARC Ref3 pre-amp. I, too, had the pleasure of meeting Don Hoatson (R.I.P.) of The Listening Room back in 2012. A very fine Gentleman of Audio.

I found the sound quality of his rooms outstanding from a minimalist approach. Entry level Straightwire cabling and hardly any room treatment(s).  At that time his space was in a medical plaza.
Happy Listening!

Second - going with separates, choose a tubed pre-amp and solid state power amp.  Aesthetix, ARC, B.A.T., Conrad Johnson and ModWright are the front-runners for consideration.  Have fun!
Happy Listening!

Thank You for citing your pre/power combination. On other Audio forums, ModWright is a favorite amongst Thiel speaker owners.Dan builds beautifully sounding gear.

Happy Listening!

Happy Friday! All
