callas01 & Spurrier Sucks:
The Uniti 2 does looks interesting, thanks for the suggestion.
I'll add it to the ever growing list
EDIT:
Forgot: UnitiQute I'll check up on as well.

Thanks for the suggestion, I can see that Bryston comes with a 20 year warranty!!!
That is borderline absurd in this modern, fast-paced world, I think!
(in a good way for sure)
I'll note down Bryston B100/B135 too.
There actually is a used Bryston B135 at a Danish dealer right now, it says on the homepage that normal sales price is $7348 which is of course way over my budget.
The used one he sells for $5848 which is also too expensive for me.
In the ads on a Danish hifi site there is a used B100 though, which the owner sells for $2339.
That's more like it.
However he lives in the other side of Denmark, so I can't easily get to hear it (even though Denmark is a small country, the other side is still some km/miles away
)
He writes the B100 is 16 years old btw.!
I can't help smiling when reading that!
It's just so crazy and new to me that electronics can actually be made to function for so many years.
I did have that old Denon amp that worked for 12+ years, however I just thought I got lucky and/or the days were over where electronics could last that long without breaking.
It's good news.
Anyway, I'll keep Bryston B100/B135 in mind, thanks.

Sim 340i is a possibility for sure.
About being satisfied for a long time vs. getting the upgrade bug right after getting a cheaper model, don't you think it's often also just because we hifi people are curious people who feel the need/desire to change gear every now to hear how this or that other amp or whatever sounds in our system and room?
I think that's how I feel anyway.
But if I do end up paying lots of $$$ for some unit next up, then switching gear will become more difficult or downright impossible for me as this is pretty much a one shot opportunity for me to get this kind of expensive gear.
I don't have that amount of money normally, it's only because of this inheritance I'm receiving that I do now.
I guess I must try and get used to the fact that I will be set from now on hifi-wise, depending on what unit I buy next up.
It's a boring thought in a way!
Bladelius Thor MkIII I'll also keep an eye out for.
Thanks!
Lots of stuff for me to check out now about the possibilities (reviews, forums etc.)
That's ok though, there's no rush.
