$40,000: What 2-channel system would you build?
I am a total Lumin fan owning the A-1 and now the X-1.  That is a great start.  I can't say enough positives about Lumin.  I had mine paired to Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage Speakers.  Prior to purchasing the SF's, I direct compared to the Wi... 
Wilson v Sonus Faber
I have owned Wilson and Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers.  When I purchased the SF's, I played them side by side to the Wilson Alexia 1's.  There was not even a question in my mind that the SF sounded more musical than the Alexia 1's.  ... 
Tube integrated
Look up Raven Audio.  Dave Thomson is the owner.  He is extremely knowledgable.  I own the Raven Integrated Reflection MK2 tube amp.  I love it.   Give Dave a call.

dromme - hardly....at the budget I am talking about I sincerely doubt the sound quality or function as you say will be compromised.  Have you compared Avantgarde versus Klipsch or JBL?  Are you open minded to Odeon, hORNS, Avantgarde, Anima?

Dromme....I wish it were that easy.  The hardest part of my journey is hearing a speaker today that sounds good and then in three weeks you go listen to another speaker. It is hard to remember the differences in sound from the different speakers o... 
Just got my Lumin T2 wasome sound but very bad app
I have had the Lumin A-1 and the X-1 and I think the Lumin App is fantastic.  It is super easy to use.  I use Tidal as well as my NAS collection.

Today I had the opportunity to listen to JBL 4367's.  They sounded good but not a game changer or one that I would put on my finalist list.  I thought the bass was lacking and voice clarity not as good as Avantgarde.  They were driven by a Class A...

That is another reason I like the What's Best Audio and Video forum.  Pictures and graphs do help.

Mahlman....trust me, I will not sacrifice sound for looks.  How I got on this horn search to begin with was hearing the Avantgarde Uno Fino.  That was the first horn I heard and in the same room I heard, Meridian, Eggleston, Vivid, Stenheim Alumin...

soundsrealaudio....will on Torus work?  There has not been much news online since 2007 on this item.  Are you a dealer?   How much are they now including the amp?

If i were doing a mid century modern, Volti, Audio Kinesis, Classic Audio would all fit, but I am not. Right now it is down to Avantgarde, hORNS Universum or Symphony and Pure Audio Project.  Others could be added.
