BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE
Monitor Audio on sale. :)  Check out Parts Connexion, and I think either Music Direct or Audio advisors.  
Which device to stream Tidal MQA
I think your best option is going to be the Tidal app on  your phone. LG makes some audiphile friendly, quad dac phones you should listen to.  
Wide dispersion speakers for a large room
For the size of the room, and I assume untreated, perhaps a JBL horn loaded design will suit your needs?  
Mytek slams Hypex in Stereophile Amp Review
The tweak is possible with Pascal, not possible with Hypex (Being a closed design) and that is why companies like Mytek take Pascal, make (slight?) modifications and brag about nonexistent supremacies. Was about to say this isn't true, but I ... 
Recommendations of amp for Martin Logan Summit X
+1 on Sanders Magtech, but if you want something different sounding, Luxman and Ayre. :)  
Just purchased an Anthem AVM 50 to Frankenstein with my Luxman 507
I would use HDMI from the Oppo 103 to your Anthem AVM50 processor for moviesThat’s exactly how it’s working now. :) Will need to see how it handles the high res formats though. It has no problem with DVDs, but since the Oppo has BD audio decoding ... 
Room Correction without loosing MQA and DSD
You can always add room correction after the DAC, but perhaps reducing the final resolution.  In a bad room well worth the tradeoff.  I mean, what good is DSD if it sounds bad?Since room issues are usually bass issues, a DSP in the sub channel onl... 
Subwoofers and Phase Question For You Sub Experts

Just purchased an Anthem AVM 50 to Frankenstein with my Luxman 507
So, miraculously, everything is working. :) I have 4K Roku, BluRay and my music streaming is all working and it's fabulous. :) A boatload of cables.  Well worth spending the money on a receiver instead! Hahahahaha.  
Streamers with best apps?
I'm going to see how far I can get with Roon on my Pi. :)  
The best tweeter is no tweeter
The problem with most speakers is that the drivers don't add up to flat power output unless you are in the right place, which we call "the sweet spot". This is only true if your definition of an ideal speaker is one with the widest sweet spot. ... 
Streamers with best apps?
Really good question, want to hear the answers. :) Among those same lines, love to know who has good apps via Android. :)  
Combination of 1st order and 2nd order crossover in 3 way box
Danny, If you don't know the driver response, and acoustic offsets you can't possibly be talking about crossover typologies yet. You really are a lot further than you think.  May I strongly suggest, try your hand with the simulated speaker I poste... 
The best tweeter is no tweeter
Gang: Please don't skip this part: What I am suggesting is that in the very best tweeters in the world, of which some are AMTs, and many are not, you simply cannot tell what they are. I don't actually have a problem with the Tektons, I think t... 
The best tweeter is no tweeter
How is this thread any different from asking what the best speaker in the world is? The person who started it and the content in the original post.
