You should start your own thread then, instead of derailing this one.

My goal was not to derail the thread but to make people more detailed in their best integrated discovery account....
There is always for each of us a specific history...
There is always in our experience a ratio S.Q./ price at play...
The best integrated someone has heard is not necessarily the priciest...
Also hearing a piece of gear is done in a specific room with specific speakers...
This is why i asked to precise these details. There no best integrated in the absolute generally save few 500,000 bucks pieces...
