Affordable Streamer with great Internet Radio, Tidal, Android support?
Bluesound is great. No down side that I've seen.  
picking speakers (and electronics) for a relatively large room - new
The Sabrina is a great speaker. I'm surprised you didn't like the Triton Reference much. It seems ideal for your room. There are many great choices. Good luck. 
Entry level turntable for my son
The Project Carbon Debut is great and easy. Highly recommended. 
Mc501 & c2600 or devialet 440?

Simaudio Moon 700i vs Boulder 865 Integrateds

Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K
I have a pair of Salk Song3 speakers. They sound excellent. They are probably the best looking speakers made. They cost around 3k. I bought them after going to the Axpona audio show and thinking they had the best sound in the place. 
Stereo Amp
I have the 452. I love it. More is better. Lol. 
Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life!
I have no doubt the new Marantz is the best CD player you’ve had but maybe the speakers are better suited to your ears and room also.  
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
I have both the Vault2 and Node2 and can't remember it EVER dropping out . I'm sorry you gentlemen are having that issue. That would be frustrating.
