cost no object integrated amps

The $18K Audionet Watt Integrated amp gets you really close too for a lot less money !  167 Watts of the best of both worlds !

does anyone here own audionet humboldt or has demoed or listened extensively and critically to it.
can someone describe the sonic characteristics or compare to any other amps they have listened or owned.
also if some one can pitch in on how it compares to MAX monoblocks with pre-g2 preamp combo

I absolutely don't agree regarding the Audionet Watt being close to the Humboldt.The Humboldt is in a complete different league, you get 90% of Stern-Heisenberg sound for a fraction of the cost with the Humboldt.The humboldt is uber transparent and ultra fast, you get a huge holographic soundstage, very solid bass and very smooth organic sound.It is not cold or analytical at all.IMO It is the world's best integrated up to msrp 50k period.Second place you have either the Vitus SIA-030 or the d'Agostino Momentum integrated.Third place you have CH Precision I1, Absolare integrated, and Aavik U-380.
Unless you have the budget for Stern-Heisenberg get the Humboldt.Watt and Max series is midfi compared to Stern-Heisenberg and Humboldt.Just my two cents.

@thieliste 
yes HUMBOLDT no doubt should be much better than their other integrated and may be also better than their separates pre-g2 and max.
does any one know how it compares to any other brands like dan d'agostino momentum or even say CH separates L1 / A1.5 mono's or ypsilon phaeton silver edition(50k).
anything to understand comparatively. although the design and engineering specs look impeccable, there are not much reviews i can find.

Do you guys know any other high current integrated amps that could compete or even beat the Gryphon Diablo 300 in the same price range ?Thanks.
