choosing interconnect/Speakers/AC -Maestro Utopia


this is my current setup:
acoustic zen silver reference ii XLR interconnect
Cardas Clear speaker cable
wireworld platinum usb cable
Focal Maestro Utopia
Pass labs X350.5
Pass labs Xp10 pre
Oppo BDP-105
regular PC computer

i ordered Luxman DA-06 , should get it soon
the Maestro Utopia i bought recently
i think the AMP and PRE are not good match with the new speakers and i will upgrade in the future (not sure what to choose)

do you know what brand and models i should demo?
heard that Nordost and Tara Labs are good match with Utopia
they have speed (dynamic) and also some "warm"
i'm not sure

Thanks

My local shop carries the Focal Utopia speakers and they currently have Asthetix gear paired with them, but I much preferred the Krell gear they had previously. I have never been more impressed than with Krell and Focal and this goes from the Utopia with Krell mono-blocks down to Chorus series speakers with the S-300i integrated.
