After spending time in the Zesto room, I wandered into the other rooms hosted by Canadian audio importer/distributor Tri-Cell.

First up was the room featuring Harbeth 30.2 40th Anniversary loudspeakers on Beech Black Tontraeger stands, with turntable, phono preamp, and DAC from Brinkmann (the Taurus, Edison MkII, and Nyquist, respectively). Vinyl was playing and those small speakers were making a big sound.

Also in the system were the Goldnote DS-10 streamer, the Aesthetix Mimas integrated amplifier, racks by HRS and cabling by Cardas.

... the Technics SL-1000R.

The Aesthetix Mimas, and the Brinkmann Edison MkII and Nyquist can all be replaced by a McIntosh MA9000.

Or, Tri-Cell could have chosen the soulution 330 integrated amplifier with the optional phono pre-amp and DAC.

They have to be one of the best ranges of standard style rectangular box speakers in the world.
