Kalali ...
You asked about further upgrades to your system. Okay, here goes ... Get rid of the Martin Logan Aries and get a speaker that is more efficient and that moves more air.
I had the ML's for a few years. I changed them for a pair of used Legacy Signature III's. There are plenty of reviews of the Sig. III's on the net. They love tube amps. The first time I heard them was at a friends home. He was driving them with a modified Dyna 70. The sound was so good that I put my Martin Logans on the market the next day and found a mint condition used pair of Legacy Signature III's on Ebay for $2100. My electronics at the time was an ARC Classic 60 and an ARC SP-14.
On the preamps ... I've had an ARC SP-6, an SP-14 and I'm currently using an ARC-REF 3. The ARC SP-14 was in the system for about 10 years. Very nice line stage ... and the one-tube phono section is excellent.
