I meant no Rowland etc. mentioning integrated amps not their top of the line offerings. Same with VAC. His integrated, as excellent as it is, won't give me enough drive. Gryphon Diablo, $15k I guess, would be kind of inexpensive choice. Ypsilon hybrid is $25k. But frankly, I would go with older separates from Gryphon, Lamm, Vac, Rowland or Pass for about the same cost, but not for $15k I think unless I am very lucky. It is much more difficult with speakers.
What piece(s) of equipment would you most like to try?
If you had the opportunity to demo any equipment out there what would you try? I have several in mind but here is my initial list...
darTZeel NHB-18NS amp
Burmester 911 MK III amp (ok and since we're going for gusto the 909 also)
Ayre MX-R mono block amp
Vienna Acoustics "The Music" speakers
Sonus Faber "Stradivari" speakers
Legacy Audio "Aries" speakers
Atma-Sphere MA-1 mono block amp
ARC Reference 250 SE mono block amp
