Audio shows are disasters really , best to find some serious Philes and go from there , apart from your first mention you have not really heard a SOTA setup , a true SOTA system has the full whammy , room, acoustics , electrical, software, front end, pre stage , amplfication and speakers.90% shown at shows are disasters really , hard to be impressed if exposed. If truly seeking top tier you can walk past point source speakers with the rare exeption (horns ). SP gave PS Audio BHK amp a good rating maybe Arnie might invite you over for a listen , he can be a thorny basturd , but who knows.
John (as well as the others) refuses to acknowledge the Gen1 's any more , I guess Gary Koh is not a member .. :)
Anyway I'm not in total disagreement with your assessments , But IMO you do need to experience a few SOTA setup before solving the problem .. :)
