The Lyngdorf looks like a nice unit, I'd also throw the Anthem STR Integrated into the mix, room correction plus real bass management, that alone will allow it to outperform almost any integrated without those features if you're adding a subwoofer or two to the mix.

Investing in a $50K integrated and not doing room treatment is obviously ridiculous.

I have the Pass INT-250 and it is truly exceptional.  Its build quality
is excellent and the sound difference compared to anything I have heard
,including many that you have mentioned , is simply unbelievable.
Trust me, it is better than many high end separate systems and a lot simpler to set up and operate.

If you guys have so much money to spend on gear what are you doing on AG?
I felt guilty dropping $4500 on a H360. That Dan D'  faceplate  should be on the front of a Cadillac.
