Luxman L-590AX
Luxman makes a great class A product. They tend to be on the the warmer side of neutral, but just a tad bit. Luxman will not rescue a bad recording but so much of todays gear is so sterile and dry that bad recordings hurt your ears. Luxman will al... 
VANDERSTEEN 5A
He is not sympathetic to used gear, but to his defence, it sounds like your home electrical system could use a thorough investigation. I hope to see a post about a positive outcome in the near future. 
Best Integrated, period.
I don't believe it to be the best out there but I currently have a Luxman class A 590 paired with Verity Parsifal Encore speakers. Ayre dac and Mac mini. Also a vintage Yamaha tuner and vintage Yamaha turntable for fun. Variety of Nordost cables. ...

6 new Totem Hawks vs Used Wilson set-up ?
I would step back a little and look at the math. In the end you get what the market gives you. If you want an awesome two channel system spend around $30k (new) and you enter the market (IMHO). Awesome surround means maybe $45k. In a surround syst... 
Customer Service
Nice! 
Subwoofer: should we even use them at all?
I have a Rel Stadium III with my Parsifal and really enjoy the sound. The majority of the time, I listen with the monitor, woofer cabinet, and sub. The fun thing about most of the Verity speakers is that you can listen to many combinations.I enjoy...
