Dealer recommendation for Yamaha, Elac, Metrum Acoustics, Auralic, VPI Prime

Music Direct carries Yamaha, VPI, and Elac. Have you heard all these components together? System synergy is crucial to getting the best sound within a given budget. I love Yamaha amps, but from the little I've heard of the Adantes, I think there's a good chance that would be a "bright" combo.

As a soon to be Elac dealer I would agree with helotech.

Unless you have heard the above combo you might not love it together.

I would ask why these specific pieces?

An Aries G2 may be excellent but then why exclude a matching dac?

Or maybe an integrated streamer.

Too many variables you should find an Elac dealer and put together a system you know you will love.

Thanks for your feedback @helomech and @audiotroy  

I didn't have a chance to test this setup exactly. Very hard to find such a dealer who has everything in their demo room. To answer with more details

1. I definitely don't like the bright type synergy, I prefer a sweet, warmer side of music without it being dark. I listen primarily to chillout, downtempo, EDM, 80s, Balearic, Smooth Jazz and soft rock.

2. I also want to bi-wire the amp (hence the Yamaha). My journey into audiophile world started with my very first Yamaha rs500 amp bi-wired into JBL 180 floor standers. It was almost 10 years ago and I grew loving that setup more and more. 

3. I disliked the first gen of Auralic Vega DAC because it was too bright for my taste and overly analytical. But their streamer (back then with yellow screen) is great and I still have it in my setup, so this is the reason I'd like to get gen 2 of the streamer.

4. At the office, I have Headamp GSX MK2 with Ayre Codex being the source. I like that combo and will be doing switching between floor standing speakers and headphone listening, with additional DAC (MA Pavane) which I do believe is a great for GSX MK2

So with the info above what would you recommend me to change, what speakers do you think is a better choice for Yamaha amp?

In speakers I also like
- PSB T3 Tower,
- Paradigm Persona line (Although I would not want to spend money on PP for the office)
- Monitor Audio Platinum PL300 MK2
- Spatial Audio M3 Hologram (But I think they will not be a good match for yamaha)
- JBL Studio 590
