Building a synergistic system. What to buy?

Yes, Fritz has a 30 day trial period. I purchased his latest Carbon 7s which I believe to be a top contender in the $2600 range. Also a very easy to drive speaker which allows for a lower wattage amplifier given @labguy 's room.  I am using it with my PassXA25 or Aric Audio tube amplifier. I was thinking that the Quicksilver tube integrated would work great with them. Labguy is interested in a SS  integrated amplifier however. 

Well, I am  passive speaker and amplifier kind of guy. I also like to keep my digital components separated from amplification. 

My suggestions will follow my bias, your room size, and your interest in a stand mount speaker (I am also biased on these for a small room). 

Two basic line level SS integrateds that come to mind that I would consider  are the Music Fidelity 2si ($1100) and the  AVA Vision SET 120 ($1300).  These are quality products that are line level only and would provide the power required for most stand mounts in your size room and allow funds for the purchase of a better DAC to be used with your Bluesound streamer. 

There are many stand mount speakers in the $1500 - $2500 range that would serve you well.  Hard to recommend due to the subjectivity of one's preferences. 

I own two stand mounts, the Fritz Carbon 7s and Esoteric MG-10s. They have different strengths, I like them both. The are easier to drive Fritz thus tube friendly, the MG-10 are more for SS amplification due to having impedance dip in the lower frequency. Both work well in medium bedroom sized rooms.

A very nice system can be put together for such a room within your budget.

Have fun and take your time.

Not a gear recommendation per se but if you want to try out gear in your room and also maximize buying power by going used, TMR (The Music Room) offers a return policy on most if not all gear they sell.

Not a "fan boy" but I've found them very professional and pleasant to deal with. 

Great ideas and suggestions. Thanks guys!

In room trial is appealing, yet even then, I'd like them both in the room at the same time to compare. That may prove difficult though.
