Yes, well said about buying the T500amk2 first. After my negative experience with the Fanes, I tried a couple "cheap" tweeters and decided I'd wait until I could buy something that is up to the challenge of my horns.
I see you use some First Watt gear. I'm listening to an M2 clone now with my horns.

I find your mention of First Watt amps interesting. For a long time I used Cary Audio 2a3 SET monoblocks to power the wide range horns and bullet tweeters of my rig. I replaced those with a pair of First Watt F3 stereo amps. I found that to be a real upgrade, and I have no regrets about the change.
I tried the single ended thing and enjoyed them until I realized they made everything sound too similar. Yes, it was a nice golden sound but you eventually grow tired of that fingerprint.
The FWs eliminate tube condition anxiety.
I have hot-rodded the SIT1s by putting in a small input cap to act as a high pass filter around 400 hz and the output caps are removed and the capacitance needed for the speaker level 500 hz high pass inserted.
I used a copper Vcap on the input and the DYNAMICAP at the speaker. Was using Russian paper oils but the DYNAMICAPs are better once they get some age on them.
The amp is spacious and true in tone.
My FW amps are my last amplifiers.
