Unfortunately, the second Ongaku also left some time ago. Perhaps around here it is no longer the time for such expensive 'toys'. But currently I console myself with a pair of 4350A + Accuphase solid state.
Hi, with my first Ongaku I used a pair of JBL 4345 (!!)
With the second I could choose between Feastrex Vivace 5" with ext PSU and a "Rullit project" with handmade PSU and boxes:

Hi Sean.
Here is my first Ongaku sold on Audiogon (2014). With RCA and United (! the best!) tubes.
My last Ongaku was sold in late 2021.
Both from the Kondo-San era.
Worth every penny? Absolutely.
Would I buy it again if I could? Absolutely.
I had the Ongaku two times :rolleyes:.
Last time played with M7 phono and An-6c step up.
I have never listened to anything like this, and I started over 40 years ago.
Expensive tubes?
My first Ongaku played with 211 RCA and GZ34 always RCA.
The second with GE. Not expensive.
Of course you can't...
