First things first - congrats! It's a really confouding, yet rewarding, feeling to find a setup that moves you deeply. :)

One quick note about the comments on the Arya's:

Are they the older non-Stealth versions? And more to the point, are you exclusively listening to them through the Valhalla 2? If so, it's possible that you may be current limited, and switching to a different, more suitable, amp can alleviate the issues above.

Is it the stealth version, but you are indeed correct!

I just tried listening to it with my Onkyo power amp instead, and it was indeed possible to boost it and crank the volume up better. Had not though about that before.

Thank you so much for pointing it out! :)
