If we are going that way, fellas, here are two solutions that are more than a cut above in compact music systems from the respected German high-end speaker firm, Weiner Luatsprecher. 2X 250 watts internal 24/192 D/A Bluetooth 3.0. Check it out!

Haven't heard this piece but I liked what I heard from this speaker company a few years ago in Munich!

So no offence meant but when I look at a list like this I wonder if people have heard all of these components together? It is the system, including the room, that is ultimately important!

I haven't heard any of these pieces, let alone together, so if you have and think they are of great value then I differ to your judgement.

Comparison to an audio exotics system. Same music different performance
