I owned one for a while and it was very solid. It had a very nice tone, exceptional really. What it did really good too, was to focus in on intruments very nicely. Everything had a nice glow (glow is too strong a word) but it sounded neutral at the same time. The only downside was it was lacking (a little)in resolution and I thought the very low bass was a little thick. I was using it on Maggies so it ran out of power, but it did great considering it had only fifty watts and the Maggies are 86 db into 4 OHMs. I also had a problem with the selector switch getting distortion and sent it in to be repaired, after being only 5 months old. I sold it for $1350.
Bottom line a very big thumbs up especially for your tastes. I do not know what the Audio Physics speakers are rated at but if you do not need it too loud I bet you will be very happy.
