If your budget permits, I consider the Delta series well worth it.

What Jim said.
Very accurate. If you are using a power distributor, you can also save some expenditure by getting a Delta XC to power your power distributor.
For future planning, you'll also get a big step on performance by getting the Denali V2 power distributor. The QR/BB device in the Denali is a game-changer. It will fundamentally change the nature of the presentation to be both more accurate and "musical" (i.e., sounding more like actual musical instruments rather than instruments reproduced by electronics).
Also...consider putting in a CopperCONN outlet in your wall receptacle
