You already have a tremendously good system, stop stressing over gear. I bet you have not done proper room treatments, and THAT is where you will find the best sound quality...

Ayre MXRs/Thiel 3.7s
Hi everyone
My system is MacBook Pro/Lampizator Tubed Pre and DSD DAC/Ayre MXRs/Thiel 3.7s
Whilst I believe this to be a very good system, I just have a feeling that more tubes would make it sound better.
My Thiels are hard to drive and probably wouldn't match a valve power amp too well. So if I keep my Thiels, a hybrid power amp is probably the best path. Any ideas?
If I change my Thiels for a more valve friendly amp, I would need to find a speaker that my wife would give her blessing to. Something floor-standing, not too big and traditional with a nice mahogany finish. But if they were more efficient, it would give me more possibilities for lower power valve amps.
The underlying fact, of course, is that that the MXR/3.7 combo I already have is pretty bloody good!
Any ideas??
