I would quite concur with your considerations AB, and for my part would venture a little further in recommending the use of Shun Mook as footed support directly in contact with the equipment, the combination then situated upon an Stillpoints ESS rack.I find this combination to impart a Hybrid effect of the two technologies, the Shun Mook's imparting harmonic weight and body to the base and mid's, whilst retaining the leading edge clarity and dynamics of the Stillpoints.
Most interesting...i use a combination of Stillpoints with HRS or Artesania to achieve a similar effect of what you describe...the articulation of details by the Stillpoints coupled with the harmonic weight i find is added back in the mids and upper bass (piano attack) via HRS or Artesania.
