"Scotch and Soda". The Kingston Trio  
???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why???
Sonus Farber Auditor M's. Have used with Hegel H300 integrated, then DarTZeel LHC-208 integrated. Very natural- enough detail with warmth.

DarTZeel LHC-208 integrated- pricey but amazing.  
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
@mapman A perfect analysis!

ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection
@oddiofyl and @jastralfu, what crossover level setting would you recommend? I too, have a single Rel S510, and my speakers are 3-way, floorstanders (PMC Fact 12s). My integrated is darTZeel LHC-208 Mk2. Currently I have the crossover at 40Hz. Wou...

$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.
Since you mentioned "organic" as your main criterion, you should audition both darTZeel and Gryphon integrated amps (both in $25K range). I heard both through Wilson Sabrinas. Having auditioned both, I went with darTZeel based on what I considered... 
Shipping Alternatives- US to Switzerland
@elrod Yes thanks, I've done that, and awaiting word back from Herv'e.   
Distinctly Digital Forever?
+1 on Aqua DACs. Starting with La Voce, then moving up the ladder (no pun intended) to La Scala, then to the Formula.  
Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
