@soix This will be a third system, and I will build it around the speakers. Currently, I have a pair of Moon by SimAudio 400M amps, a pair of Parasound Halo JC1, a pair of Benchmark AHB2, and a Cayin A-88T tube integrated. I sort of assumed I’d look for something with tubes for the MM de Capo Be II, but I’m willing to work on it.
As for the sound characteristics I seek, I feel like I’m still learning that about myself. I love the Wilson Audio house sound, so on the warmer side, with a full midrange, and slam, but I also have Cornwall IV, Dynaudio Special 40, and Triton One (now relegated to home theatre duty). I've also had Spatial Audio M3 TriodeMaster and GoldenEar Triton Reference. I like some of the things each of these can do. I feel like I’m exploring, although this hobby is an expensive one in which to dabble.
