The Ayre Codex, at $1800 new, is the most musical I've heard under $5k!
It transformed my system from very good hifi, to true audiophile grade. I can't recommend it highly enough. Of course their QX-8 is better at nearly $6k, but the Codex is similar in musical satisfaction. There is a richness and flow to the music which I usually only associate with vinyl.
