Dealer recommendation for Yamaha, Elac, Metrum Acoustics, Auralic, VPI Prime

As a soon to be Elac dealer I would agree with helotech.

Unless you have heard the above combo you might not love it together.

I would ask why these specific pieces?

An Aries G2 may be excellent but then why exclude a matching dac?

Or maybe an integrated streamer.

Too many variables you should find an Elac dealer and put together a system you know you will love.

Thanks for your feedback @helomech and @audiotroy  

I didn't have a chance to test this setup exactly. Very hard to find such a dealer who has everything in their demo room. To answer with more details

1. I definitely don't like the bright type synergy, I prefer a sweet, warmer side of music without it being dark. I listen primarily to chillout, downtempo, EDM, 80s, Balearic, Smooth Jazz and soft rock.

2. I also want to bi-wire the amp (hence the Yamaha). My journey into audiophile world started with my very first Yamaha rs500 amp bi-wired into JBL 180 floor standers. It was almost 10 years ago and I grew loving that setup more and more. 

3. I disliked the first gen of Auralic Vega DAC because it was too bright for my taste and overly analytical. But their streamer (back then with yellow screen) is great and I still have it in my setup, so this is the reason I'd like to get gen 2 of the streamer.

4. At the office, I have Headamp GSX MK2 with Ayre Codex being the source. I like that combo and will be doing switching between floor standing speakers and headphone listening, with additional DAC (MA Pavane) which I do believe is a great for GSX MK2

So with the info above what would you recommend me to change, what speakers do you think is a better choice for Yamaha amp?

In speakers I also like
- PSB T3 Tower,
- Paradigm Persona line (Although I would not want to spend money on PP for the office)
- Monitor Audio Platinum PL300 MK2
- Spatial Audio M3 Hologram (But I think they will not be a good match for yamaha)
- JBL Studio 590

I use Spendor SP2/3s bi-wired to an A-S1100 and I think they have great synergy. Other than the EDM, I think they'd work great for your genre preferences. I imagine KEF's reference series might pair well also. These amps sound great with KEF LS50s. There's a rumor that the A-S3000 has a leaner tonal balance than the 2100. Might be worth investigating. I personally would put the bulk of the budget toward speakers. I'd rather have $9k speakers with a $3k amp.

I almost pulled the trigger on the AS-61 Adantes, just out of sheer curiousity, but the video of them at the Munich show, and Steve Guttenberg's recent assessment lead me to believe they might lean toward the bright side. I don't think the newer Yamaha amps are bright, but I wouldn't call them warm. They're very revealing as well.

When spending this kind of money you'll definitely want to audition the gear somehow. I realize it's a pain, but maybe you can make a weekend road trip or order from a dealer with a return option. 

Most brick and mortar stores can assemble the core of a system that's their business. At the very least your dealer should be able to assemble the receiver, speakers, and a reasonably similar source. I would think the money you save might not be worth results you may get when you get home.

Call a few Elac dealers around the country and ask what receivers they use to display these speakers.
