I also have a pair of TC60's here, though they're not mine. Still, it was very interesting to listen to them and compare. Other speakers I compared directly is the well-liked Totem The One Anniversary edition. What the owners of Magnepan 3.6's had to say really warmed my heart to say the least.
I've not heard the amps you own, but I did have the Rogue Metis pre, which I liked quite a bit. What I keep telling my friends (the few who have not heard them yet) is that here is a speaker that has ultimate resolution without sounding bright. I know I sound like a "speaker racer" but the truth is that I enjoy most good speakers for their varied approaches to the same goal.
A few weeks back one of the tubes on the Stingray popped and I had no spares. So for a short while I tried connecting the Emotiva XPA-3 and the UMC-1 processor. This is hardly a match anyone would ever suggest, yet the Merlins sounded terrific and suffered mainly in the soundstage department. They still out-imaged the Spicas!
Take your time dialing them in and experiment. Bobby (along with other Merlin owners) will have plenty of suggestions.
