I suggest you go to Vandersteen 2ce signature. The 1C's are already quite a good match. 2ce will give you near full range sound that will make orchestra real. the minimonitors will get you this. I would also stay with Audioquest. I have gone back and forth to kimber and AQ.
primarily between AQ emerald to Kimber select copper.
Main difference of AQ to Kimber:
AQ, much better bass and drive, but upper mid can be a bit forward
Kimber, nice upper mid and highs, but softer low bass and lack mid bass.
Vandersteen would definitely match better with AQ.
Good luck
