@palmbeachflorida I live close to you and have the same "cost is no object" approach. I have a setup with Kotesu Blue Lace, Soundsmith Hyperion MK II, Soundsmith Sussurro MK II, mounted on Durand Tosca and Sound Acoustic TA-7000. I am out of the country at the moment but will be back in about a month and would invite you to come and test it so you can hear for your self.
I'm in Fort Lauderdale.
