The Tobian's have an excellent reputation, I don't believe I have heard them yet. Were they at the Munich show? Partnered with Aries Cerat I would expect your system to be pretty darn good!This is what I currently have as well (Aries Cerat with the Tobian's).
So far of all the gear mixes I've ever heard, this is the one the up till now emotionally engages me like no other set up.
I also have the BAT VK80i integrated here. What a fantastic integrated it is as well. At $10K, I've yet to hear anything else near its price point that can outdo it.
Thought I would post pictures of my current system. More modest in price but with the high efficiency Coherent Audio Neo 18 speakers my Shindo gear can make the music sound natural and real. Presently listening mostly to my Artisan Fidelity Garrard 301 with an Ortofon Classic SPU, love its presentation!
As you can see I have chosen not to have all my gear placed between the speakers but run longer interconnects back to my source that is adjacent to my listening area.
I guess my point would be that you don't have to spend anywhere close to $350,000 for speakers View attachment 139000
to enjoy wonderful sound. Although I must admit I was seduced by the sound of the Acapella and the Aeonor horns at the Munich show, lol!
