Any thoughts/recommendations on electronics

Try to hear an Almarro A205A.
This EL84 based integrated is very musical and the MK-II version has a headphone jack.
There is currently a MK-I selling for $700.
Good stuff.

little to loose to try. willing to bet it sounds great.

From what I've read, they (Dared) seem to have some nice little amps and such that would probably work very well for an office system.

Another high quality, inexpensive integrated amp you might want to look at is the Emotiva Mini-X, go to Emotiva.com and see...
