I was going to suggest the PV-10AL before I even read the above statements.
A PV-10 paired with McCormack's micro would be absolutely heavenly.
The Micro sounds even better than the DNA.5 (which sounds better than the DNA 1, which sounds better than the DNA 2... you get the picture.)
McCormack's amps sound worse (but it never gets bad)as you move up the wattage ladder.
For Klipsch speakers, you really don't need (even) 50 watts per side.
I haven't heard the CJ solid state stuff, but the tube products are very nice sounding.
I no longer own any CJ, but my first "high end" (haha) piece was a brand new PV-10AL.
good luck!!
