What High end speaker to choose?

Very excited to see how this develops!  All of the speakers above should produce wonderful sound.  If my only objective was sound, and I had no other constraints, I expect that I'd end up with a pair of Wilsons.  BUT--the Nautilus will produce magnificent sound and also be a real statement as sculpture.  Coincidentally, I was drooling over their looks the other day--absolutely timeless, and I do not say that lightly.  My son and his art critic girlfriend were also admiring.

 

To drive these beauties I'm thinking a pair of MC275s, or an MC2152, and a C70.  (I have the former driving B&W 805s beautifully, no experience with the latter, but really just going on looks here, haha)

Thank you kindly to everyone that has given feedback so far.

 

I am leaning towards Sonus Faber Sonus Faber Aida2 - Any specific thoughts on this speaker? I know it will require less amplification Than the Macintosh XRT 2.1.  I have been told that 2 MC 901's will be sufficient.  Any thoughts?

Her is what's already ordered - 

MC901   x2

C1100T  Tube pre amp

C1100C Audio pre amp

D1100 Digital Pre amp 

MCT500  CD

MT 10 Reference turntable

Men220 - Room Correction System 

MS 500 music streamer

MPC1500 AC Power Controller

Cables - Redwood SWB BFA- SPADE

 

An impressive selection of gear, though a couple of things give me pause.  I am not sure why you'd order a D1100.  Since you already have a C1100, I'd get a killer non-Mc DAC instead.  I would not order a MEN220 right out of the gate--it will not necessarily improve your sound, it may make it less engaging on balance (it did with my system.  I'd get everything else first, live with the system for a few months, then consider the MEN220 after you understand your baseline.
