What do I buy?
My first research would be with Monitor Audio Silver speakers. I have had the Bronze and Silver series and they are good for HT, plus the front floorstanders would be decent two channel stereo speakers. If you can work a deal (without the sub) you...

Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps
Jond I think you will really like the AN speakers. What other equipment will you be using??? Also charles1 you are dead on the money, LM Audio gets lumped into the "poorly made Chinese audio products" category. It’s a shame so many audiophiles and... 
Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps
Yes I did. Audio Note and Devore Fidelity are really fine with lower powered tube amps. You cannot go wrong with either brand. I only had a short listening session with the Audio Note speakers.It’s kinda funny because higher powered tube amps and ... 
Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps
I listened to some Shindo gear at Don Better Audio in Shaker Heights, Ohio a few years back. Also heard the Leben gear, Audio Note speakers and Devore Fidelity speakers. I ended up buying a Line Magnetic Audio amp (because that was the limit of my... 
Looking for a musical subwoofer @ $500>
I like Rel subs. You want a fast sub maybe with a servo amp. I used to have SVS but the customer service was not that great when I wanted to fix it. I think Rythmik subs are very good as well, with fast amps built in (thinking F12g). My two cents... 
Inherited 21 piece of vintage McIntosh and need help building a system
Are are you kidding me? McIntosh gear is highly regarded, I am sure you will have a very sweet sounding system when some of the components are refurbished. Good luck and maybe you can think of your uncle while you listen. Just a thought... 
Need suggestions for streaming files to my stereo
I would get a Bluesound Node 2. It is a real hi-fi bargain at $499. I have wireless access to all my digital music files stored on a HDD. Plus, I have Pandora, Tidal and Spotify. If I wanted to explore Roon, I could. Should I want to play back Hi-... 
Some Stereo Speakers Appropriate to my Setup and Around $500 or Less (if possible)
Cedargrover gives good advice on the ELACS. Also the advice on the Vandersteen speakers is great too. I have the 2CE Sig II and they are very, very good for the price point. A good way to go about this is to follow a very good speaker designer/eng... 
Lesson Learned
I became entranced with an amp and preamp I had read about on various audio websites on the net some many years ago. Both components had received tremendous and rave reviews. Once I had saved the appropriate cash I took the leap and bought the pai... 
Which components are "stupid good"?
I had mentioned Magnepan MMGs and I still keep them on my list... but I addThe Parasound A21 power amp and The Bluesound Node 2 The Node 2 can Stream music to multiple Bluesound Players all over the home.It can access and connect to internet radio... 
Appropriate Power for 1.7i's
The suggestion to get the Bryston 4B St is a very good choice. Those amps are powerful and sweet. One of the best bargains in hi-fi.  
Journey ending speakers
I plan to treat myself at retirement to these speakers or something similar.Magnepan 3.7i with (added) fast subs or the Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT. I really have not decided on amp/preamp yet.  
"10 Recommended Turntables"....
That is the worst audio gear list I have ever seen. Crosley???  
Help with PCM, 96khz/24bit, 176.4khz/24bit FLAC, DSD, Double DSD, Quad DSD, MQA, WAV, etc
marktomaras,that is a simple and easy list of the file formats, thanks. BTW what do you think of the SOUND of the MQA files from Tidal? I have listened to them and have been impressed. That had been the first time listening to hi-rez music for mys...
