Couple comments, personal and off the cuff. I have not heard this unit.

It's a very expensive receiver (of course no tuner, but it's all in one). Priced @$22k, I'd much rather have the components separated out a bit more, at least between source/DAC and preamp/amp. To be stuck with something so expensive when the source sections get outdated would be a bummer.

That said, I see it used at TMR for a mere $15k. Perhaps the right price for some; for me, I'd prefer to assemble a nice sounding but more flexible system.

 

 

Agreed, except I am space challenged and need to satisfy WAF requirements 😎😎😎

I’ve heard AP20 few times at AXPONA 2023 and it sounded pretty darn good with Wilson Sabrina X. If I ever go down the path of downsizing, AP20 would be an easy choice. If you’re looking for one box Integrated with best streaming and user interface then choose AP20. Their customer support is amazing. I can vouch for longevity of their products as I have been using Aurender for 10 plus years.

Another popular option is Cambridge Audio’s EVO 150 at much lower price point.
