A very de minimis high performer system you have put together. You must go through tremendous time and effort to sort out and eventually end up with this particular combination in this price range you consider as the "endgame". It will be more informative/eductional for all audiogoners if you could share your decision making experience during this process, such as what other speakers/amp you have also auditioned ...
My endgame system I think
Good day everyone. I wanted to share what I believe is my endgame 2 channel system and say thank you to all of the members here for all of the advice I’ve gotten and read. It’s a simple system but the forum has guided me tremendously with my decisions. A special thank you goes out to Duke of audiokinesis (who I met at Axpona was very gracious with a few questions I had) for recommending Jeff at HDacoustics to design my room that I built while the speakers were being built. I hope to have many years enjoying my new system. Thanks again everyone !

The Rockport/Boulder were both highly praised by Stereophile but JA did point out the minor flaw below. I also noticed that, when listening to Pink Floyd Money (demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj1Zced6dEU&t=181s), bass notes introduced from the Rockport right after the string of coins sound was noticeably louder / accentuated than the early mix or studio version from the same loadspeaker I had. This may not be a "flaw" to those who (incl. myself) are fond of wieghtier bass / coloration though. JA wrote:
