Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
You owe it to yourself to hear the Revel’s. They are outstanding in all respects and an unbelievable value. The road could stop here for a very long time.

Dan D'agostino classic stereo amp + Dartzeel NHB-18NS
FWIW I mated a Krell Phantom two box pre with my  Agostino  momentum amp. Actually directed that way by a top Agostino guy that knows Krell inside and out. The 222 one box version would please as well. Really love the phantom pre.

Nordost Frey 2 power cord on Agostino Monentum stereo amp
Actually now comparing Valhalla V1 vs Frey 2 power cords on my dac. The Valhalla meaningfully brighter which is what my system/dac needed. Just one seems to do it. Great cables both. Can't imagine anyone describing Frey 2 as lean or bright. I'm ge... 
Amp ac cable connection
