Spatial X5 speakers
I heard open baffles from Spatial, GR Research and Linkwitz. My favorite is the GR Research $4k system by Danny Richie. The Linkwitz at $12k throw a soundstage I would not have thought possible. The downside of the Open Baffle is the room size ... 
How much gear do you own?
My strategyl is to maintain a system with minimal footprint. I sold the separates and moved to an INT. Sold the TT and phono stage. I stream using a unit that also rips and stores. Now I am buying 2 way standpoint speakers supplemented by two s...

Loved his solo "joanne" ? I think. The only Monkee not a monkey  
Down To The Crunch
I heard the D&Ds in November in the bay area. An in home session. They have a live sound I found very appealing. Never heard the  Kii brand. I find the the Dutch do things right.   I suppose you have eliminated the Active 50's from ATC as... 
Borresen Acoustics 01 Speaker Review >>>ARE THESE SPEAKERS A BARGAIN ?.....
I diid hear them at the Gaylord. Have to disagree with your conclusion. They were the best sounding speakers in the show.

Apologies to TMR Audio
At times like this I can only say-  I remember the time I made a mistake.. All seriousness aside, I applaud you for being big enough to recognize a mistake and correct it.

Stacking pass labs power units??
Two Class A units produce a lot of heat. Very bad idea.  
Fist Watt F6 vs Pass Labs XA 25
Not heard the F6 or 8. reviews say 8 is big jump up. SIT 3 is the FW to own per experts. XA25 used is cheaper. Owned that and went to the INT25.   Not sure what your speakers require in power but the Pass measures much more wpc than FW.    
Audio Research I/50
Monty, Can you share the price paid?  What state are you in?   Thanks!

Fist Watt F6 vs Pass Labs XA 25
buy the F8 or the XA25.  
What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
I like your choices. All very musical. Steamer buying is harder than other gear. Why? No in depth reviews that clearly explain what makes one piece better than the next. Higher price = better SQ? Maybe. What I use you don’t need. (Innuos ZEN...
