So I just got 6 John Zorn CD’s from the library. I tried to listen to them. Really I did! I guess I just don’t like that kind of jazz. Oh well.  
Speaker recommendation £2-10k range
Look at KEF’s R series. You didn’t say your room size so I can’t recommend a model.   All the best.  
new to streaming- help!
Setting up the Node N130 was a piece of cake.  The only thing that I had a problem with was connecting to my NAS and the problem was all me! As far as using wireless, I have 500 meg down from Spectrum that’s pretty solid and have tried Wi-Fi.  It ... 
Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel
It’s called the Viking and I’m pretty sure it only does Redbook CD’s,  but no I haven’t listened to it. All the best.

Rel t9x or Rythmik F12G
@ric2001  You can easily start with one T5 and see what you think.    
Not sure if I have enough oomph.
@paultapar  While your amp has plenty of power, a subwoofer woofer or two can make sure you  rarely use more than a few watts.  All the best.  
Streamer with decent app
To me, the DAC makes the biggest difference and I’m using a Bluesound Node N100 with an LPS and a good USB cable going to my Denifrips Pontus ll. As time with the Node passes, I’m thinking of getting a better DAC, not a better streaming device. A...

@mahgister  I can listen to Michael Brecker all day long, and have.  Having said that, I haven’t been able to get through a Becker Brothers album. Maybe it’s just me?
