I have not heard the Summits but am familiar the Martin Logan sound.
Summits have a powered sub. They xover @270hz.
You are in a biamped situation. You are using CD which has a higher output than phono. This means you can go for nuance over raw power.
I was just reading a review of the ASR Emitter on Audiogon which is available in Europe for a reasonable price.An integrated is a serious consideration. IMO preamp or linestage is not necessary for CD. You might also try the Rowland Research integrated. You might want to try some tube integrateds also.
My GNS modified ARC-SP14 and Moscode 401hr comes in at $7k which you might also want to consider. Mine is very neutral while others prefer a sweeter sound.
