most beautiful (looking) speakers
Bosch speakers were Ohm Walsh 4s https://ohmspeaker.com/legacy-products/4/   I've always been partial to the ADS L810s  
$1500 tube amp for La Scalas?
tubes 4 hifi ST-70 http://www.tubes4hifi.com/amps.htm#ST70 This amp can be purchased assembled and would be a great match with the LaScallas  It over your budget but the ST-120 would add the power for the bottom end. https://dynacotubeaudio... 
Anyone near Bergen County NJ have a pair of Tekton speakers I could listen to?
Be sure to tell your Doc that the next time you're in for surgery.  
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?

Who has more Rock, Tidal or Qobuz?
Amazon HD has a much better selection than both combined.  The sound is really close and for rock pretty much imperceptible.  
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
Yes we should allow them and then attack the crude out of them Make disparaging remarks about their lack of education Attack their ethical reason for being here Post graphics depicting our superiority over their lowly existence Make sure to po... 
Need DAC comparable to OPPO BDP-83SE, or better, small size, USB OK, SPDIF coax...
Adioquest dragonfly dac is the size of a thumb drive and gets very good reviews.    
Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers
Tekton Moab speakers with the grills. I know the flaming is coming but if you have the room (they are huge) use the money left over to upgrade to a real DAC

Quboz vs. Tidal: Tanika Chalres : Papillon De Nuit
@erik_squires Couldn't find Tanika Chalres : "Papillon De Nuit"  😏 I did find Tanika Charles "Papillon De Nuit" I also can't compare it to Tidal vs Qobuz but I did compare it to AmazonHD vs Qobuz. Amazon seems to be much more forward .  Like on... 
Your method for discovering great music.
On my Qobuz trial discovered  https://www.mps-music.com/products/ Welcome to the Black Forest (The Sounds of MPS) this album sounds fantastic and led me to a lot of great recordings    
Amazon Music HD on HEOS
This is my 500th post and hopefully won't be placed in a post that will be removed. (501 all bets are off.) The Amazon  computer app in exclusive mode produces the best sound quality.  I'm a Windows guy so I use a designated fanless pc into the D... 
Subwoofer Choice Question SVS, Majico, JL Audio, REL
Seaton sound Submersive HP  Wasn't one of the OP choices but if you are looking for a marked improvement you are going to need to consider a high end sub.    
Is Tidal messing up for you? Would you Choose Amazon over it?
@jjss49  darn you. I really didn't want to believe it but Qobuz is better than AmazonHD.   Just signed up for the Qobuz free trial and with WASAPI (exclusive) mode it's just  better.  The bass is tighter and there is an increase in clarity which... 
How to control volume for DAC with no volume control
The only way would be to use the volume on the software.  My amp has a volume attenuator so I can run it bypassed but not always.
