I wouldn’t want to wade carelessly into a world you know so well, but there are certainly some parallels between luxury hi-fi brands and luxury watch brands.
I still have a Naim Nait 5i in our junk room. I got tired of the ‘thump’ on start-up, and the ground loop hum with unearthed components. And I’m pretty sure my Marantz (PM 8006) is more capable…
The Forcione CD has probably been played a zillion times in Naim demonstrations. Or in the UK anyway, where he lives and is quite well-known. A nice man too - with a fine sense of humour at gigs.
And now I’m listening to this -
Attachment 132131
I’m listening critically at the moment, because I fancy treating myself to some new speakers - maybe Dynaudio Evoke 30. Trouble is, my 20-year-old PMC GB1s are sounding quite good.
My Naim folks are US based, I know a couple of the old guard in the UK. They are "paired" with Focal now, a French company.
Regarding your speakers, IMO, don't change what isn't broke, although, Dynaudio does a good job. I'm sitting right now at breakfast with the US Dynaudio guys.

I don't see it on Spotify. Now I want to hear it even more!
Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

I told Alexa to play Stevie Wonder. Can’t go wrong with Stevie.

None that I'm aware of. These folks have played on the streets of New Orleans. The tuba player is, in fact, quite thin. Some wag who passed by regularly started calling him "Tuba Skinny" and the band decided to run with that name.
