Laurie Anderson - Big Science. I put the recently retipped Zu DL-103 on the Sota, sounding really good.

There are a couple of RSD titles I'd like to pick up, but I may just wait and see if they're available online at the end of the day. Best of Judas Priest    Judas Priest Electrif Lycanthrope: Live at Ultra-Sonic Studios, 1974    Little Feat The C... 
Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass
Yep.  Sometimes you have to open your mind.  And your ears.  
Headphones vs full range speakers
For a while I was really into headphones and built up a nice collection including LCD4, Sennheiser HD800, Sony MDR-Z1R, AKG K812, and a number of others.   I used the headphones a lot in my small two channel system in my computer room because the...

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Greatest Hits.  This one is a 3 disc Warner Special Products release.  I bought it about 7 years ago and probably only listened once.  It's in nice shape and sound quality is good for a compilation.

Near the corners, not in them. Then move a few inches and lift up a little more and so on. Take your time.  
New Tidal Plans and Changes
Don't quote me on this, but I don't think there's any difference in content. You'll be able to access all the files but they just won't play at MQA level if you don't have the top tier plan.

I just took the grills off mine this afternoon. They are very snug and held on with six pegs. I used a butter knife to gently pry the edges out. You're "supposed" to leave the grills on. They are supposed to tame the top end a bit. I don't notice ...

Neil Young - Harvest Moon. I think I finally got a decent copy. It took three tries.  
Upgrading my system
I'm not familiar with the equipment you've mentioned, but I have owned a number of bookshelf speakers - Canton, Monitor Audio, and Vienna Acoustics to name a few. I have the Harbeth P3ESR SE speakers in a room a little smaller than yours, in a ne...
