Internet radio for Luddites
A music service like Amazon, Spotify or whatever has 60 million songs to listen to.  Jazz all day, never hear the same song.   A streamer setup or Bluetooth speakers connected to the computer.. 
Pass Labs XA30.8
The 30.8 is a 94 lb monster.  It may be rated for 30 W Class A but puts out much more power if needed.  It will drive your speakers with ease. 
Will 12 inch subwoofer be enough for an 18x20 room (with 10 ft cielings)
I am lucky.  I have a dedicated room.  I was very impressed by room treatments improving my bass.  I have 2-10" subs.  I don't think size matters as much as being able to have multiples and treatment.  It helps every aspect of the music.  I know, ... 
which speaker to buy

which speaker to buy
I have Crites speakers(similar to Cornwall). I also have subs. I can play this so loud you will cry uncle and clarity is still there. Kick drums have serious impact and will scare you if not ready. Yet this system will play vocal and acoustic reco... 
Aegir upgrade to Pass...maybe
They had issues with the protection circuit and firmware.   As far as build quality goes, they put a 5 yr warranty on it.  That is higher than many. 
How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs?
I have been cooking since I was a kid.  I also had 3 kid athletes who used to eat me out of house and home.   Lately, as in the last 5 years, I have been messing around with BBQ.  I have developed my own sauces and rubs.  I also cook my own ver...

I received my XA 25 last Friday.  It is twice as big and twice as heavy as the Aegir. The amp came in a large single box surrounded by expanded foam.  The amp is heavy at 45 lbs vs 22 for the Aegir.  The XA25 is rated at 25W but will put out 80W i...

I ordered a Pass Labs XA25 from Reno HiFi.  I got an open box item at a very good price.  Shipped same day!  I will get it Friday.  I was instructed to leave it on 5 days to break it in.  This should be a great match and upgrade!

I have heard very good things about Dennis Had amps, especially for the money!  The only tube amps I am familiar with are MacIntosh,  The few stores I have been to were pushing tube equipment.  I have been tempted to try a tube amp but haven't.......

Reno Hi-Fi has demo XA25 for $3895-but not always.  Full factory warranty of those!   
Aegir upgrade to Pass...maybe
Reno HiFi..yes. Especially since I went to a Pass dealer and they didn’t stock them. I am under the impression the XA25 and Aegir would sound similar. The XA25 has 25W Class A with about 80W available. The Aegir has 10W Class A and weighs about ha...

I am hoping to keep this purchase at about $4000 or less. I listen to all kinds of music.  I do turn up the electronic music.  Otherwise I listen to music at what I believe is the volume you would hear if the person or band was playing in front of... 
Streaming for beginner
I set up my system for streaming from the get go since my CD player was old, etc.  I subscribed to Amazon HD music.  They have 60;MM songs available.  Tidal has about the same amount of songs.  All my music plays at 16/44.1 or higher.  I have seen...
