Streaming music using Oppo 105
Thanks for the comments. I didn't know there were different sound quality options. I had a thirty day trial subscription so I am guessing I had the lower sound quality. It just sounds muffled.

Audio valuations
I listed preamp for $1300 as it is a B  model. The offer was $500 less than asking price. I am willing to reduce the price if it is a reasonable offer. Thanks for all the advice.

Is there no one out there that uses Rythmik subs with Magnepan speakers? 
How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL?
