Cary SLI-80, Too Warm?

I am in the market for a new integrated amp and speakers. My front end is Koetsu RSP and Herron VTPH-2.

I have not settled on speakers yet but will likely opt for a monitor given my relative small room (1800 cu. ft). Merlin TSM's (previously owned VSM's) are on my list as well as the Acoustic Technologies single driver which I will listen to next week and several others.

Would the Cary be too warm given the Herron/Koetsu combination?

I am not specifically wedded to a tube amp.

Signature has been the standard version for a long time now, as I understand. Upgrade is F1, with or without direct coupling.

You can tune the sound a lot by selecting output impedance match (4 vs 8 ohm) and ultralinear vs triode sound, as well as tube selection.
