Dchang05, isn't this how you describe your new system?
So are they phenomenal or did you lose soundstage width and depth?
Your old tube amps had pretty high output impedance which could cause frequency anomalies and depending on your speakers you could have shelving of the highs with the 1200s. Odds are if you equalized frequency response your perception of soundstage would be more consistent. Perhaps a better statement is that your amp, pre, DAC shouldn't impact sound stage (as intended) if they are neutral.
The deep wide former sound stage may have been artificial.
I purchased BHK preamp, M1200, and P15 together three weeks ago. The first week they sounded flat and dull, but now they are phenomenal.
