Sound Stream is ok, but its not anywhere close to what it used to be.
I suggest double checking ampguts on possible candidates to see whats similar out there if anything.

I for sure wouldnt touch an Audiobarf even if it came with a free steak... Audiobahn is the devil, period.
I would lean more towards the Cadence, Almani is on the newer side for msot of us. No idea how well they will hold up over time.
