Is the magic in shindo or verity?

I was totally blown away by an inexpensive system. After hearing magico minis II with solution tube amps and zanden cd player, I went to hear the verity fidelio driven by all shindo. Shindo amp -75 watt, preamp the one above monribson. Of course vinyl was the source, a gerrard based shindo rebuild turntable .
The sound was remarkably life-like.
What was the key player that made this sound so much better than most other systems I have heard? I know synergy is the key, but does the shindo make everything sound good or do these verity's always sound good? It actually made me forget mbl's.

It sounds like you heard one expensive and probably poorly setup system vs one properly dialed one.

Many large stores put together systems based on price rather than synergistic matching of components.

Is Shindo better than Solution perhaps, I have heard the Magico and boy they sound good but hardly worth $30k for a two way! So just remember a well setup system will outperform and expensive mess.
