Happy to help yyz. Enjoy! 
Can you tell the difference between Tidal and Spotify
Yes. That doesn’t necessarily mean different will be better. I’ve taken some blind tests comparing 320 kbps (which is what the high quality version of Spotify streams) to FLAC files and while I could tell the difference between them, I couldn’t co... 
Qobuz Special Offer

I was away for a few days at a conference, listened to Tupelo Honey by Van the Man last night.  It's good to be home! 
Spotify sound inprovement.
I haven’t noticed a difference in sound quality, but I don’t usually put Spotify on for critical listening. It’s usually background music while I’m doing something or something I listen to in the car. I do like its ease of use and its personalized...

Loudspeaker Recommendations: Standmount or Small Footprint Floorstanding under $2k

Klipsch speaker choices
I haven't heard the new Forte speakers, so can't speak to them, but in my experience, Klipsch Heritage, Legend, and Epic speakers sound good at lower volumes.  I had my Crites modded Heresy I in my office for quite a while and listened mostly to j...
