Speakers suggestion help
Have the 1038 Be with a Carver 1725 tube and Ayre SS - both give impressive upper range clarity.   A potential issue is the unprotected tweeter with very fragile Be membrane and the $1K replacement.  .    
2k to 4k Streaming DAC
Running preamp/streamer NAD658 to Focal 1038Be w/ Carver 275. NAD has Dirac correction, MQA, NAS, aptX HD, Bluos. https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/nad-c-658  
speaker recommendation for 35watt tube mono blocks
Focal 1008Be  at Upscale for $2500.
