Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail

It’s without question,  we all have our own perspectives towards gear and will engage in technical banter, data points and all things from here to the moon.  But one thing I’m almost certain all will agree upon, room treatment and how it impacts sound.  A little will go a long, long way.  Some of what you’re hearing would be cleaned up with room treatment.  It could be the detail you’re seeking is being obscured by your room dimensions, or the positioning of your speakers, or a number of unrelated equipment items.  Either way, with a budget like that, you’d be doing a disservice to the gear by not optimizing their environment.  

Agree, look at your room first. Your budget is ample. I used to think B&W were the gold standard but there is so much out there. Can you attend any of the big shows?. This will allow you to listen to so many different setups in a short amount of time.  I also suggest bringing cash and buying the best system you can afford. The dealers are usually open to selling so they don't have to ship back home. That's what I did down to the cables. Very happy. 

The new KEF R series and Sonus Faber Sonettos come to mind when you say "romantic". Obviously I haven't listened to every speaker manufacturer in the history of the world, but these two are the most recent that I think may fit the bill. At least in my experience and idea of a "romantic" sound.

As others have said, everything adds up to a sum result. Your amp choice will be important. Your interconnects will matter. Your source material will matter. Even your room will matter. I'd take a good long listen to tube vs. solid state. Both can sound romantic and warm. Just depends on the manufacturer. 

Do you have a selection of songs that you know well and know how you want them to sound? Obviously, I'd bring those with me to the hi-fi shop.

Keep in mind, what sounds romantic to you, may sound completely different to someone else. I wouldn't limit yourself to thinking digital can't have the sound you want (as suggested by some). I used to bartend and I can promise you some people's idea of romance can be drastically different than others. Some couples show up for a candle lit dinner, while others do a bunch of cocaine in the bathroom then try to run out on the bill. Ah, romance!

I just watched a review on your Hegel H590 and it looks like a nice unit. Maybe it’s your speakers and agree ProAc’s might be a good choice but I’d stop for a minute and ask have you done any room treatment? On the Darko YouTube review in the background he uses Vicoustic panels which I use too and can say from owning these that if you haven’t worked on your room you are wasting your time and money. Also I question how good your PC is as a streamer. I’d suggest room treatment then streamer.

It sounds as though OP really wants vinyl going thru tubes. That's the sound I'm hearing him describe. Can't see how digital will get there.

While I mostly agree, in regards to digital .. it depends. A nice R2R multibit NOS DAC would likely be a nice choice. Border Patrol? MHDT Lab Orchid?
