Think you have a very nice combo
Node 2i -> PL Evo 400 (KT 150) -> Maggies .7

And you may want to try an external DAC.

Enjoy it :)

"...The only advice that I find worthless is the "sell it all" trolls. I just want some friendly advice..."

They are not trolls, they are suggesting to sell what you have and move up the ladder in one big step. It’s good advice. If it was me, I’d say get a pair of Magnepan 1.7s and a Musical Fidelity integrated to run them. Set up right, you would move up the ladder quite a bit.
