I am highly impressed with your Sound Sommeliers. I have a cheaper Grace Digital Bluetooth Amp; which also, has a Aux out from my Dish Network Cable Box. They sound very good with this, but the other pair I have paired with my Onkyo 7.1 channel Amp in Stereo for now. Wow, what a difference! I do not have a tube amp, but I bought a high quality tube buffer that you connect with high quality RCA cables from your CD/DVD player to the Tube buffer and then to the receiver input. It makes a huge difference.

I have to say the Grace Digital Bluetooth Amp with Bluetooth and a Sub Out only has RCA out to 3.5mm in. Not the same quality, but with the Tube buffer it helps a lot. When I play my music over WiFi on my receiver the music quality is even better.

Unless you are volume crazy, your Sound Sommeliers are more than adequate for any reasonably sized room. My living room is 15 feet wide and 20 feet deep with a cutout that is 6 feet by 4 feet going into the Kitchen eating area, and your Sound Sommeliers held their own in a pretty large room. 

You may be amused by this, but with a Subwoofer set on level 1 out of 10, I was playing music for friends on my very Large and Full Range B&W DM604 S3 speakers a week earlier; then I disconnected these and simply switched to the Much Smaller Sound Sommeliers the next weekend. I, as well as my friends, were astonished how much sound these little Kvart & Bolge speakers put out in presence and quality of sound. What really caught my ear is the lack of a definite need for a center channel speaker with your speakers.

My friends thought they were listening to my B&W DM604 S3s with a Center Channel, until I told them otherwise. They were amazed.
