Probably not what you want to hear but your system will shine with small-scale music, not metal or classical rock. For that you need some horns, especially with a nice little amp. Preferably horns with a fairly linear impedance.
If sources are all digital, consider DAC with volume control into power amp into some horns, without a preamp.
Massive solid state power will give you more output before clipping with tighter bass and more freedom with speaker choices.
Not sure if this would be satisfactory with small-scale music (depends on your choices) but if not consider having multiple components to slip in once in awhile as needed. I prefer having a system built for large-scale stuff and using it for the smaller-scale stuff too but YMMV.
