Personally I think you are going in the wrong direction
you should select loud speakers first.
altough we are specialists in active loudspeakers we sell kef dali elac and atc
we view these as lifestyle products for starter systems or for users looking to add music for another room.
we would recomend visitung a few stores and listening to some great monitors priced at 2k to 5k and great compact floorstanders at the samr range.
this way you can find out what your ear likes detailed or warmer and more musical
then find an amplifier that drives the speakers well
many great integrated amplifiers have excellent d dacs and somtimes even have great built in streamers.
a great system in that ptice range dali rubocon 6 a small floorstander 6k
