What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano
As said above...recording the piano accurately has been an issue for many years. Many base the sound they are after on prior recorded works which may be flawed in the first place. I would find a piano recording that you think best represents what ... 
REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening
Dave thanks for advice. RELs are still being considered. REL recommended the S3 or the T/9i for my set up 
Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini

Amp upgrade advice

Next phase generally means "selling brand". Optima purchased NuForce. Maybe Optima wants to get into the speaker business 
Amp upgrade advice

Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
Anyone compared the Job225 to the Benchmark Ahb2 amp? 
Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions?
