I'm composing an audio system in my head and would like to hear your thoughts.
Current equipment: JDS Labs Atom, Drop 400i headphones, Drop Sennheiser 650 clone headphones, Topping D10
(plus, DT880's and a Bravo Audio tube hybrid headphone amp at work) . I have a THX AAA on the way in September.
My proposed system:
Satori Ara speakers with Beryllium dome tweeters ( and the off-white Egyptian papyrus woofer cones, for beauty).

I would power these guys with an Onkyo receiver I have laying around (initially).
I have not heard the speakers, but people I trust say they are really good in their category. They sure are pretty. I like the lightweight kit idea.
Why Beryllium? For ego, mainly. Plus the pain of the $474 bump in price will fade and my vanity will last a long time.
Next step:
Set the receiver aside and buy the Neurochrome 286 kit. A very strong technical spec'd amp with a somewhat quirky designer, seems
like it would be a really good fit, plenty of power for these speakers. I'd probably use the JDS Atom as a preamp.
Lots of room in the future for additional projects: maybe stereo subwoofer integration, perhaps room DSP, streaming and source options.
I'm one of those people who takes joy in researching and getting the system set up and listens more to speakers than to music! typically I enjoy all kinds of Jazz, occasional hip-hop and blues, some classical.
Thanks!
