Given an Adcom combo, a Parasound combo and an Exposure combo each combined with pair of PSB Stratus Golds the different listening experiences are pretty damn great. Sorry but subtle is an understatment - given three listeners, three different conclusions might be reached, and for some listeners some or possibly all of the combinations may deemed unacceptable.

Kind of like using an Exposure 15 35 watt integrated ($1500) hooked between a top of the line Sota Vacuum table and Wilson Witts and sounding "great", in fact, destroying a $15K stack of Rowland electronics in a head to head comparison. No one really bothered to note the $100 Creek phono section attached between the Sota and the Rowland preamp. The Exposure can be good but it's not that "good".

LOL. Seems quite a contradiction with the rest of your post considering he's a guy advocating that by spending more money on our speakers we are going to get an improvement. This is just bad advice plain and simple.
