Things we cannot be bothered by anymore
For music I can’t be bothered with: 1. vinyl except when it’s included in box sets with CDs and BluRays.  I don’t have a turntable anymore so the albums stay in the box.   2. Radio with commercials.   3.  Overpriced concerts.  If I can buy your ... 
Digital Advice
+1 for the Bluesound options.  I have the Node N130 and the Wiim Pro Plus.  The sound is better to me on the Node and the BluOs app works great streaming Qobuz and other streaming services including Amazon.    
Does anyone listen to the radio anymore?
My brother still does.  I Hooked up an old stereo system in the family house with a steamer/DAC with a Qobuz account and a CD player.  Showed him how everything worked.  My brother hooked up the antenna to the wall and listens to a classic rock FM... 
what is more popular silver or black face plates
I prefer black.  I have low level lighting in my listening room and black matte virtually disappears which is what I want.    
Subs?
2 subs are better than one in most rooms and probably in your room based on your description.  I started with one SVS SB1000 Pro.  It sounded good.  I got a second one and it sounds even better.    
soft dome versus hard dome tweeters
I have beryllium tweeters on my Revels and soft dome on my Arendals.  I prefer the sound on the Revels.  Great top end without being sibilant or too rolled off in my listening room.  Beryllium was suggested by a local dealer and they sound great t... 
What does your Virtual System page say about you? 
It says I forget to add my virtual system.  Just added it.  I started with my speakers for what it’s worth.    
Woodstock 1969, or 1967?
Glad I grew up in the 60s at a time when rock was evolving as music always does.  Everyone has their favorites.  As I get older I find I’m more open to listening to new music and new bands.  My Dad didn’t like my music but I listen to what my kids... 
Music/Life
Neil has the answer in the song.  It’s better to burn out because rust never sleeps.  The king is gone but he’s not forgotten.  Happy Groundhog Day.  Again.    
What are people using to upgrade from Channel D Pure Music to play from iTunes
Suggest an Innuos streamer.  Several choices depending on your budget including used ones.  Recommend Qobuz for your music.  I have a Zen Mk3 streaming Qobuz using the Sense app that Innuos has and it works great.    
Is it O.K. To Speculate Re: Company Stability Here?
In my opinion it’s fair to post a question about or share your experience with a manufacturer.  Should be done appropriately per the site guidelines.  An open discussion is one of the benefits of utilizing social media.  
Whats playing on your system today?
Renascence - Cymande.  New soul album that Qobuz recommended.  Good stuff.   
Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover)
I have that Electric Ladyland cover too.  Jimi didn’t like it so it was replaced.  Linda McCarthy took a picture of him with a bunch of kids in a fountain in Central Park that he wanted them to use.  It was the cover for a later reissue long after... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Crosby, Stills and Nash - Crosby, Stills and Nash.  The album that started it all.    
SHIPPING speakers?
Thanks for sharing.  The issue is the cost of freight shipping in my experience.  I’ve had speakers delivered on a pallet but from a manufacturer that had a free return policy in case there were any issues.  I try and sell any gear locally includi...
