+1 for Elvis!  Blood and Chocolate is one of my favorites. 
Radio Paradise to Stream MQA to Blue OS
Interesting. I think it sounds great without MQA. I'm all for anything that makes them successful, it's a great service and I listen often. I found it ironic that "serious music listeners" and BluOS were mentioned in the same announcement.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - You’re Gonna Get It, limited edition blue vinyl. 
Moving up the Harbeth line
Gig Harbor Audio makes affordable open stands for Harbeth (and other speakers). 
Subwoofer Decisions - REL/Rythmik, Pair/Single, Paper/Aluminum Driver, etc.
There's no such thing as "overkill", but at the same time, your goal shouldn't be to "pressurize" the room (unless you're listening to Bassnectar at 11), but to seamlessly blend them with your speakers so that they don't call attention to themselv...
