What stood out for me is with the Yamamura is how, even at low volumes,they fill up the room, there is music everywhere, and you get low level details. There is immediacy and a musicality that can be heard in a very relaxing fashion, lounging or walking around, instead of listening to it in a hifi-analytical sort of fashion.
I actually mentioned this on Ron's thread, that instead of trying for an uber expensive system, which would still have compromises and leave one unhappy with something or the other, have multiple systems.
If I have a lot of money, my no budget system will be multiple systems with different presentations rather than one extreme expensive one, as I find shortcomings in all systems otherwise.
I would probably have a valve with stats for vocals and baroque, trios with bass horns for orchestral, western electric, and Wilson Alexandria X2S2 multichannel with big subs. A Belt drive with multiple tonearms, a direct drive, and an artisan fidelity. Lampi dac, Shun Mooks under all. Have valve and SS amps that you can swap around, and an SS phono and a valve phono, that you can rotate between systems as well. Datasat Auro 3d in the Wilson room
