I have lots of equipment and some very expensive Martin Logan speakers that were about 26k and then you add the pair of ML subs and it brings it up another 7k.Then you have the strapped McShaned citation 2s running it and it's very impressive however,there is no fun in it anymore other than listening to musical selections and analyzing what you heard after.It's a take your breath away type of system but as I get older,I have more fun with my smaller stuff like the Sherwoods, and Mac Ma230s, and the Eico ST70s, and putting them on the AR3s or some cheap speaker I cobbled together with my electrostatic add ons making it sound terrific.
I hate going down the basement anymore to listen to music.I think I want to buy a 120 year old victorian home when I retire with high ceilings and then redoing it and that way I can be real nostalgic vintage.BTW,the stuff you have is perfect and the VTA amps I love and my daughter has one as well.She took one my Dynaco ST-70s and we put in the VTA board with a 12au7 in the voltage amp and 12bh7s on the phase inverter and driver. She runs it on a pair of AR LSTs and she runs her Sherwood on her Green Mountain audio speakers..She lives in Fla and goes to estate sales and finds incredible stuff cheap.
