Jorge,
You will get much better sound if you dedicated your resources towards one system. I know I am stating the obvious but felt compelled to give you a little reminder.
A poster in one of your other threads suggested conrad johnson gear. I can second that recommendation. Very musical but you will probably hear the tubes in between songs. It does not bother me and it all disappears when the music begins. You can buy a tube pre for about $1500 and a tube amp for 1,300-1,900 used on the 'gon.
I see we like similar music however I do like to rock it a little every once in awhile. I will caution you that most tube amps that I have listened to do not have the low end grip and impact that I desire and IMHO needed for the music that I listen to. The CJ's amps have a low end that is a little too slow and mushy for my taste. That is why I have a tube pre with a ss amp. I see you have monitors so perhaps a sub would help in this regard.
