I need to buy a complete system.

I am in the market for a complete stereo system.  I plan on using a DAC, with music on a Mac Mini.  I had a VTL pre-amp, Moon amp and B&W 802 speakers.  I like the idea of tubes and since I will need a complete system the difficulty of driving the speakers are not there, as I will need speakers as well.  The room that it will be placed in is a large open room with 30 foot ceilings and lots of glass windows, with tile floor only 1 area rug.  Suggestions??

budget would be around 20-25K.  I like opera, female voices, blues, and eclectic rock.  I think I would describe my preference  as warm to neutral sound.

Room treatments do not work in my house.  The house is not designed for them

I plan on taking my time and traveling in the fall to RMAF in Denver.  I am in no hurry per se.  Are there any other Hifi shows that is sooner than RMAF

This system would only be for music.  I have a separate room for my home theater  system.

so I have been reading about the monitor platinum 500 speakers and I like what I am reading. I will need to hear them prior to any purchase, but I am wondering about pairing those speakers with a tube preamp and amplifier in my large room.  Any suggestions on the amp/pre-amplifier, and does anyone have experience with those speakers and how they do with tubes?
