Accuphase is a classy company! They've got their own following and if your part of it your treated like family. I can understand why you are considering them. When I did my TuneLand showroom last year (a HEA year long experience) Accuphase was one of the lines I featured. I spent a good many nights enjoying the Accuphase sound and style.
I also agree that your topic has been about Accuphase specifically and not sure why others are trying to talk about other products as comparisons. Accuphase is Accuphase, it has it's own style, performance and pride of ownership. Comparing them to other companies doesn't quite make sense to me.
Lastly, if your thinking of making a purchase you should add Sound Consultant to your list of dealers. http://www.soundconsultant.com/
