This is Head-Case.  Just get a Parasound Halo Integrated!

You just had to put that idea in my head... and once I'm doing that I might as well go for the NAD M32.

True HC style then we'd be talking about an Accuphase E-600...   

It does have the advantage that if someone broke in my house they might think it was old and worthless and leave it.

I'd say this whole narrative is factitious and non-intuitive.

Can we start the factions going...? pick a side.......

Can't speak to the newer stuff, but, I've always found NAD to be great sounding.

I still have my M51 DAC (even though the YGGY is better) and a C 521BEE CD spinner.

Both of those speakers (LS50's & Cicada's) seem to have very different ideal amp requirements.

Given you have two other systems already, I'd suggest playing around with some interesting tube amps with the Cicadas for a different flavor. Maybe add a turntable?

I like the "add turntable" part.
