Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music
Heard some Klipsch Jubilees today and when I closed my eyes, felt like the band was in the room!  The room was huge, and the sound filled it completely.  
New Klipsch Conwalls (IV)
Loving my CW IV’s with LTA MZ2 as integrated amp with one wpc.  But I’m breaking bad later this year and moving up to a Decware with 2.3wpc.  Watch out!  
Meitner MA3 amp/integrated suggestions
Valvet might be another option,especially used.  
Lumin Roon Only Mode
I’m doing this, no problems so far.  I haven’t tried to leave roon only mode yet.  
Less Is Really More - Schiit's New Yggdrasil DAC - Less Is More
Just a comment related to the LTA MZ, I am currently using mine as a 1wpc integrated to power some Cornwall IV’s.  I’m sure there are better combinations, but this one sounds incredible at low to moderate volume levels.  
Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One
“Hi Fidelity” with John Cusak and Jack Black.  
Need an integrated amp that sounds engaging at lower volume
I’ve heard the Enleum 23R sounds very good at low volume levels.  Can’t verify, never had the opportunity.  
Best low power amps under 800$ (10-60 w)
Rega I/O.  
Bluesound and BluOS
No issues when hardwired.  
Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated
Just saw on Headfi forum that Gustard is about to come out with a new R to R DAC called the R26.    
Mixed Brand Pre-Amp Power Amp Pairings that Work
Backert Rhumba 1.3 preamp with Pass XA30.8 power amp.  
Pass Labs XA30.8
Well, my 30.8 with drive every speaker I’ve tried with it, including some LS-50’s, which are pretty insensitive.  I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of this  amp.  It is especially happy with a Backert Rhumba preamp.  
Ideas for an amplifier?
I’ve had good luck driving Vandy Treo CT’s with a Belles Aria integrated, which can be found used for $1200-1500 from time to time.  Only about 60wpc.  
Sunday dreaming about preamps...
I think the Backert was mentioned earlier, and I’ll second that.  I love my Rhumba 1.3, and use it with a Pass XA30.8 power amp.  Great combination!
