Minimalist companies: 47 labs, Scott Nixon,Decware


I am greatly interested in audio companies that have a minimalist philosophy in both aesthetics and circuitry. I've looked at 47 labs, Scott Nixon, Decware, Pass labs, Final Labs,Blue Circle, Portal Audio, etc, and was wondering if someone could suggest any similar companies.

cdc: My interest in minimalism is on two levels. First and foremost I want to acheive the shortest signal path and least amount of components possible (taking the Einstein quote into account of course). Secondly I am intrigued by minimalist art work and would like my system to reflect that. I find that many companies who strive to make short signal paths also manifest this minimalist philosophy on the exterior ( 47 labs being the best example i've encountered so far)
Audio zone amp-1 is also something that I am looking at. It is a "gainclone" modeled after the 47 labs gaincard, but at $1795 its considerably cheaper. Has anyone tried it?

Sounds like an amazing little system you are devising there. Let me know once the crates start to pour into your house, I'd like to know how they sound. I've been interested in the prometheus for a while myself. What is the low frequency extension on them?
