Preamp Gain issues with high efficiency speakers
Are you able to return the Souls and acquire a suitable speaker ... something low in impedance, a bit less sensitive ...   There is a demo set of  SF Olympica Nova III.  Asking $6,000. Now that's Christmas!! https://www.musicloversaudio.com/p... 
Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described
I think PayPal will come thru ... it takes a while   Definitely check in with your credit card issuer ....

BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard?
Art Pepper Daniel Villareal  
High quality recordings any genre
Twittering Machines has new music loaded each Friday ... always interesting. A new-old artist I recently found: Danielle Villareal.  Awesome jazz grooves ... His latest work, Lados B.  
another rookie question - preamp or or power amp
+1 for upgrading your integrated @grislybutter   TMR has an excellent reputation ... perhaps you could sell your gear to them and pull down some better stuff!    
Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?
I find it mostly on Ebay ... annoying it may be but sooner or later someone will buy it.  It's in the seller's interest to wait. Long lead-times for new equipment also keep asking prices high ...

Impressive list but the best year was 1976 with the release of 2112 ... sorry, close though
