jafant,

Still alive and kicking, and enjoying my system more each day. IMO, the 4B cubed is an excellent choice for the 2.7s.

My "listening room" is 16 x 24 x 12, with a large opening on one long side to another room. However, I don't play my music at ear-shattering levels, so there's no clipping on near-instantaneous changes in volume. The BP-26 has gone to live with my son, so the 17 cubed is the preamp. 

No on yet has convinced me streaming is the way to go, so the classical CD collection is getting a workout.

That's the spirit!  A server/streamer does not interest me as well. I never minded changing out CD/SACDs.
Happy Listening!

Different strokes for different folks.   There is still very much a place for physical media.  But all the same, in my opinion streaming from a subscription service like Tidal or Qobuz has its place, especially with respect to music discovery.   I find streaming to be a complimentary arrangement, not so much a replacement for physical media, although for some folks it can be.

When I checked last week with Rob G., he had a NEW rosewood 7.2 for 10K.

Streaming versus physical media:   i stream  at work,  but for serious listening at home with my big system,  it is compact discs all the way.  I do not know about others,  but for me,  part of the pleasure of this hobby is building a collection of music and then choosing what to play.  FDR collected stamps,  I collect cds and can never have enough.  When i get one i do not like it goes to the used record store. It is all fun.  What a wonderful hobby.
