I would try to visit as many dealers as I could and audition speakers.
Like, m-db said, I think you could do better speaker wise.
I own a pair of DNA-1 monoblocks-just upgraded by SMcAudio, as well as a RLD-1. They worked very well with Vandersteen speakers.
Though I disagree with m-db, regarding digital streaming. Using
Spotify has made me give up my CD collection. (I grew up with turntables and vinyl and can't see why I should go back). I would suggest getting a Bluesound Node. The internal dac is pretty good, and you can always upgrade later- much better than the tablet you currently use.
