In a totally different direction, but immensely satisfyng, is the Aronov Audio LS-960I. A recent one was virtually given away at around $1000-1200 price range, used on Audiogon. The natural and satisfying sound is allied with bass capability as good as it gets in the more affordable tube amp division, or even in comparison to most luxury price tube integrateds I've auditioned.
This allows for a full range speaker which can really do bass, not depending on a sub-woofer. Well done bass can add a thrilling quality to many recordings where you may not even suspect those lower frequencies matter.
I mention this choice even though SET has a devoted following, and a magic of its own.
