But we like nice and shiny things, so ...
(Me too, I am sorry to be out of the scope of this thread, though.... Let me follow you with one of my photos.)
Essentially agree, especially "nice" (excellent as audio gear) and shiny (I understand it as aesthetically beautiful and acceptable at least for me and my wife) things.
Just for all of your reference, I use
Yamaha A-S3000 driving woofers,
Accuphase E-460 driving midrange-squawkers,
Sony TA-A1ES driving tweeters, and
Yamaha A-S301 driving supertweeters (ref.
here), the amp selections are based on my policy of "right-person-in-right-place"; all these wonderful four HiFi integrated amplifiers work so nicely in my multichannel audio rig having also
Yamaha YST-SW1000 L&R subwoofers. Main SP is fully active (DIY renovated eliminating LCR-network and bypassing attenuators)
Yamaha NS-1000 plus
FOSTEX T925A supertweeters.
