For those with cash to burn, I heard these today - haven't heard the Liszt, which costs 120k, but heard the Chopin @30k, and this is seriously good. I played ACDC, Led Zep, Dylan, Clapton, Beethoven, Norah Jones, some audiophile stuff, and it plays all with ease. Throws sound out to you like the stats, is more clear, better bass, and when it gets harsh it's easier to tolerate. Unfortunately no cheaper alternatives or used market
