What are the really expensive speakers you said you have listened to?
Zu for Pass Labs?
Just buy an INT-25 and XP-17 phono stage, and after dozens of speakers (and really expensive ones), still remember the Zu Omens as my favorites. (also can get my hands on Heresy IV, and before Zu Heresy or Forte III were my choices).
Would they match good? I might can get Omen MKI or Soul VI.
TT: TD1500 and VPI Classic Signature, Rose for DAC/Streamer.
My other amp are a Mastersound Dueundici and Dueventi.
