Thank you auxinput.

Btw. The 3.5ohm are a mistake. I have learned my speakers have a minimum of 5.3ohms with a maximum of 50ohms. So tube amps are a possibility as well. I have a eye on the 17W (in 8 and 4 ohm) quad va-one ei84 Push pull amp.
The Hegel seems a bit too warm, dense and overdamped - not lively.

MF sounds unnatural to me.

I try to find a belles aria.
