Thank you all for the recommendations. I am going to take time review some of the items.
Regarding the tube amp possibility, I have my share of tube amps before, but limited to just flea power category where the maximum power output I have is 8W (300B), and some even lower at 1.5 to 2W (45). I might revisit the possibility of trying higher power tube amps, but for now, I prefer staying with SS.
Meanwhile, appreciate the inputs on other features I might need. They look to be very useful and have more flexibility for future setup.
Good to know Luxman 590AXII gets so many positive votes. That is one of the choice very high on my list.
