@crustycoot and @corelli  Thank you both for those additional ideas. I'm saving this thread!  
Fritz Carerra Be + Audio Research Ref 3 = WHAT TUBE POWER AMP
I had the Be speakers for a while and the tweeter is very detailed and bright (in my room). I suggest an amp that can utilize tubes like EL34 or KT77, KT120. DAC is also important. You might consider emailing Aric at Aric Audio about these: https:...

Communist Russian tubes in it from Reflektor LOL! I didn't know tubes could have a politico-ethical persuasion. If I drink vodka from Russia is it communist too? If it's from Alabama is it hillbilly? LOL!

Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations
