"Wireless" Speakers for Living Room and Kitchen set up.

Old SS amps
I have 3 old Yamaha AVRs.  One is 29 years old, another is 25 and the third is 21.  They all still work.  Amps last forever as long as the on/off switch works in my experience.  I bought the newest one used for $25 at a yard sale.  A great deal.

How competitive are you with your system?
I enjoy what I have.  Love leads to contentment.  Comparing leads to jealousy and misery.

For Earth Below - Robin Trower.  50th anniversary edition.  Saw him live for the first time this weekend.  Still rocking at 80!   
Qobuz vs Airplay
I’ve tried all the major streaming services.  Qobuz is the best combination of music quality, selection, ease of use and price in my experience.  I no longer use Airplay except when connected in my car.
