Milpai, I am very interested in what you are doing, I just have not talked to anyone building thier own music server from scratch. There are so many advantages to this approach... I am sure you have thought of them. I wish you the best of luck and... 
Best "Budget" / "bang for my buck" 2-channel amp and speakers can I get new?
Look at Rose Audio integrated amp and streamer. Something like this and get some Tekton speakers like these https://www.crutchfield.com/S-tBJKevO8Fjk/p_358RS201E/HiFi-Rose-RS201E.html https://tektondesign.com/product/full-range-speakers/mid-...

So we had a meet and greet at Nervous Dog and a few of us had a great time drinking coffee and talking audio. For those of you who came or wanted to come I am hosting a smallish audio session at my place in Cuyahoga Falls. Most here can just PM me... 
Cables recommendation
I like Blue Jean Cable and Signal Cable for interconnects and power cables and Pangea for power cables and Analysis Plus for speaker cables. But I will admit, I shop in a budget style. I am not inclined to pay too much $$$ for cables...

Paper cone drivers/natural materials
Every speaker I have liked had paper cones. Few I have liked had other materials.  
Adding a sub. - can i start with one?

Ok guys. I think we have a date, place and time for a meet and greet. Looks like mikld and myself are on board. I have not heard from csmgolf (so if you are out there, come on by) and I think milpai might come. All others watching this thread, jus... 
Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed!
All these suggestions for buying something else and bluesound is not that good and the like have some merit, but I think you should get IT to help and see what the unit can sound like, when you have fixed or addressed the problem. I can tell you y... 
What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers?
Not in order/ think of 5 pie slices Speaker designer/ engineer ie Richard Vandersteen Build Quality Sound Quality (by my ears) Warranty and service Reviews by users I almost never look at measurements.  
Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed!
Bluesound has outstanding customer service. The IT guys helped me a couple of times. I can't imagine they couldn't isolate and fix your problem.

So it looks like the weekend of the 23 ,24 July are the dates most here can make. And it looks like Fairlawn is somewhat central and breakfast/coffee is a good option. Keep checking here and I will post details later. Thanks to everyone for gettin...
