Building a new 2 channel system and need help

I am building a new 2 channel system and recently discovered PS Audio, yes, I am a newb.  Anyway, I am curious as to other members impressions about these amps.  I am considering a pairing with either Raidho, Magico or possibly YG.  I have to admit I am having more difficulty than I anticipated finding something that wows me. I recently listened to a system with an Aestetix amp, CD player and Focal Sopra 2s. I found the sound too bright. They did switch the amp to a VAC integrated and that was better, however still too bright.  I heard the Raidho C1.1s at RMAF and was blown away. I have not heard the Magicos so I am also open to opinions on those.

Thank you in advance

Thank you for all the responses.  I ended up buying a Constellation Inspiration amp and pre-amp, Raidho D1 speakers, PS Audio DirectStream DAC and PS Audio P5 PowerStation so far.  I found the video of the RMAF room from 2014 that "blew me away".  They were using the higher quality Constellation gear but my budget cannot afford it so I am hoping the sonic quality is somewhat similar in my Inspiration gear.  

On another note, I just started a thread asking for advice on cabling since I have no idea.  Would appreciate any suggestions you may have in that thread.

Take care!
