Going from the Adcom GFA 555 ii to the Bryston 4b SST or SST2?
I am a long time ProAc owner. I'd be concerned that the Bryston (my experience is with older Bryston amps) amps might be a little on the bright side for the ProAcs. I use a Cary CAD 200 Solid State. The amp is neutral toward warm sounding and matc... 
Speaker questions ProAc, Harbeth, ATC
I to am a ProAc fan. Mine are almost 40 years old. You can’t go wrong with ProAc or ATC. You might want to look at Legacy speakers also. A different approach, but great results. The Legacy’s might be the best at Rock among the 3 brands.

Do people hate Eversolo on here? Or is it liked some?
Happy A8 owner for almost a year now. Use it as streamer, DAC and Pre. Sounds great. App is great. Updated frequently. Tidal Connect works well. I listen more than ever.
