I know a different amp and pre amp can breath life into those speakers. I would say the amp and pre are more laid back/dead sounding than the speaker on that speaker. I use a Belles Ref 150a V2 with a passive pre with excellent results. Something that might get you good results that I have not tried are a class 'd' amps. The mozarts need controlled to sound articulate and I think a class 'd' could provide that. Also I think they sound pretty clean without being bright. However I have not tried them. In my listening to your amp it seemed to me it was a slight bit dry and dull. However it was not bright, edgy, forward, or sloppy.
I think what the mozarts need are an amp to control them well so to be articulate and not lazy sounding and also not be bright but have a good leading edge to the sound. That is what I get with the Belles. Most of the mozarts I have heard sound edgy and/or bloated. Not pleasant to me. However when you get them tuned in they are quite impressive. The kind of impressive you say to yourself 'man that was an amazing performance' almost every time you listen to something.
What I like about the mozarts in my set up is they provide and abundance of detail to mimic a realistic impression of the real thing in a good way- they portray the whole body of a person, the whole instrument of many instruments and so on, makes for an engaging experience, they have a natural life like sound.
I think something that it seems is overlooked is the timing of music being naturally preserved. When it is skewed it robs the sound of its musicality. I think that is one if not the biggest draw back of reproduced sound in our fancy systems. You can listen to a small radio or in your cars simple system or somebody else's simple system and really connect to it, not the sound but the music. I think it is because among other obvious things it also preserves the timing well. We hear of fast amps and slow amps. And it seems to me they preserve some aspect of the music fast or slow or the harmonic structure but not all of it. To me it is kind of like the music was dissected a put back together and it just doesn't fit very well. I am talking in the analog domain. Something can individually have a natural like sound but the whole tapestry looses musicality. It seems The mozarts along with my other equip preserve that timing is an excellent way. You might think of some music you like. A primary component of that music is the timing, that's why that music is what it is, and likely why you connect to it to a larger or lesser degree. To me the mozarts preserve timing of the harmonic structure along with a realistic natural image to a very high degree. That being said everybody seems to like a variety of things. You have some nice speakers jughead.
