Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail

Can some one help me in the right direction. Im going to spend like 20" for speaker and amp.

Im looking for a detailed, dynamic, warm, romantic sound. I like the midrange sound of piano, strings and female voices.
Im listen to all music like rock, power balads, country and some modern music. i dont listen to jazz and classic.
Im using tidal and spotify from pc usb.


Started with Hegel H360 to B&W cm10 missed dynamics and warmth.
Upgraded to Mcintosh MC501 and D150 to B&W cm10 ok combo but was missing detail from hegel.
Upgraded to Mcintosh MC501 and c2600 to B&W cm10 missing the speed in the bass from D150 (best combo so far)
Changed to the new Hegel H590 to B&W cm10 did loose all the romantic sound and dynamics and it sounds like the female singer stands in the background =(

I also have a SVS SB16 for the times i listen to modern music.

How would a SS pre and tube amp sound? Do i get the romantic, warm and dynamic sound and the speed to the sub?


What integrated or pre&amp do you recomend? ant to what speaker?

I have one idle Cronus Magnum II fitted with NOS tubes like Telefuken and Mullard.

It sounds very romantic and dynamic with Lansche 4.1(I paid 50K$ for new one 12 years ago).

I had used this combination for 7 years.

SET tube amplifiers are even better but cost more which also requires good system matching with efficient speaker.

If you go for Hifiman Sundara headphone, it will be easier to get romantic, dynamic, warm and detailed sound.

It is magical.

But it is really hard to get such sound from amp and speaker combination.
