I'm really very fortunate to have a system and space that are so utterly satisfying to me. I can just get lost in here.
3/22/16 Edit: Earlier this year I replaced EMM Labs DCC2 SE and CDSD SE with an Allnic L-3000 Mk II tube preamp and a Playback Designs MP-5 Reference SACD/CD Player/DAC. I could not possibly be happier!

These speakers punch so far above their weight class that I shudder to think of the cost to better them. SO impressed with these speakers.

Quite possibly the last amp I'll ever own. Glad I got mine 4 years ago since it seems like they've gone up about US$1k per year since then to well over US$20k. Here is a nice review by ToneAudio. http://www.tonepublications.com/review/plinius-sa-reference-power-amplifier/
Very nice system in a very nice "man cave". Loved your response to the "nay sayer". There seem to be no shortage of people with strong opinions out there. What the heck, if you enjoy yourself with this hobby, that's all that really counts!
