Work your way up the Synergistic Research, or Kimber lineup. I've got some of each(Synergistic's Analog Tricon, Tesla Apex, and various PCs/Kimber's KS-1130s and KS-1030s) in my bi-amped(Maggie mains) system. My goals have always been the same as yours(plus everything else that goes with the sound of, "live"), regarding presentation. The Cable Co. will work with you, as far as trying them out. (http://www.usedcable.com/) I've always dealt with Joe, and been a very satisfied customer.
