Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts
I can tell you what I like and what I run it through. If you are interested in an analogue sound, the Exogal Comet gives my system a GREAT sound (admitted I like analogue > digital sound).  BTW, I had a Chord Qutest prior to the CometInnuos Zen... 
The best tweeter is no tweeter
HELP! I do not suggest you should use a single-driver, full ranger with a whizzer, heavens no. That’s just wrong (grin) and a clear cry for help. LOL  Have Rethm Saadhana (Widebander with a whizzer) and believe they sound as good as any speaker ...

Options besides a computer for streaming
I think an Innuos Zen Mini with LPSU < $ than a Mac. Great as can load all your music on it (either folder or CDs), stream with Tidal or Qobuz, uses Roon (which IMO is awesome) and great quality

Speaker Spikes and related items....
kmscalley,It is only my opinion, but I would be concerned about a speaker over an HVAC vent.  Lying over a vent will produce very dry, hot air in winter, and in summer the cold air will definitely cause condensation on the speaker base as it hits ... 
Full Range Drivers and SET's, why is a classic combo?
If they are still available, the First Watt SIT-3 does a wonderful job with a horn and at 18 watts can easily drive most any horn.  Very tube like sound and a great price 
Bookshelf Bake Off
Have a listen to Mark Audio Sota Cesti B.  Great sound, under budget and they have a 30 day trial period.  And the red is very cool looking! 
What is your favorite High EFF speaker
My favorite is the Rethm Saadhana (101 dB)  I have owned the Maarga also.  My other speakers have all been in the 85 dB range.  I would say you will obviously have to listen for yourself, but I think you cant go wrong with a good horn.  I like the... 
Basic integrated amp for $700-$900
May I suggest the PS Audio Sprout 100.  It is small, silver, well built and sounds great for $599.
