This is what I have:

B&W 802d

Transparent Ultra biwire cables.

I was just doing Hiome Theater before, but want to start listening to more music

I Haven't listened to much tube gear before, but I did hear my same speakers with the Ayon Triton integrated tube amp and thought it sounded wonderful so I guess I'm pretty open.

I'm looking for synergy that will help tie the whole system together

Thanks,

Mike

ARC Ref 3, McIntosh c2300 or Cary Audio SLP05

3 great choices in your price range, the ARC is prob the best of those, the Cary my favorite, and the Mac the best value (comes with and excellent MC/MM phono stage)

can't go wrong with any of those
