1000 Pro with dCS Vivaldi?

What I like about that setup, and the Statement in fact - apart from the reasonable cost - is the unintrusive minimalist nature of it. I could happily plonk either down in my lounge and they'd blend right in with the furniture.

Ahem.... just a point of order, or clarity, here; are we saying the Naim Statement is 'reasonably priced'? Last I saw, the Statement preamp was about 250,000 in some modern currency (pounds sterling, USD). Based on the last pic I saw, the Statement is a piece of the furniture. Plus it needs the matching piano-sized amplifier to go with... Big box to store in the attic, too. 

I suspect I've missed the subtle irony here... not for the first time, I'm guessing. 

BTW, I'm using the ',' as a separator of the thousands of units, not the decimal tenths, so I mean two hundred and fifty thousand and some number of cents, pence, centimes, centisime, etc.
