And here is the Corus pre-amp and 625 amp...lovely design in my view:

Very, difficult to give a straight answer and definitely so subjective. But I'd go with:

TRANSPORT (no TT for me as I'm not into vinyl):
ESOTERIC

ELECTRONICS:
GOLDMUND
MCINTOSH
PASS LABS
PRIMARE

SPEAKERS:
WILSON AUDIO
B&W (NAUTILUS)
SONUS FABER

I can't decide. I love the McIntosh look, but the only problem is they make a meellion products and they look almost exactly the same.

Man, I wish I had a C2500.
