Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ?
aux:I've had a DAC which behaved much better via USB than other inputs. I now own a DAC that behaves similarly. I think it's very much about implementation of the jitter and re-clocking interfaces as a whole. The DAC which behaved much better via ... 
Up grade speaker cross over
This is probably best over at DIYaudio.com, but ...We need more info. What speaker, what tweeter, what caps are in the crossover now?  
84k speakers... Big disappointment
Yes, B&O has horrible taste in speaker design in cars and headphones but ...Their ICEPower amps and the Scanspeak drivers that make up the components of the B&O are top notch. I really can't take the Beolab seriously as a speaker, but as a... 
More expensive DAC the answer?
Have you talked to GIK Acoustics? They give great advice and have awesome products.  
Help with DIY dedicated circuit
Not sure if it was suggested, but you could run 12/3 and have 2 separate 20 amp outlets. :) Get an electrician to do it. If it were me, I’d use 15 amp breakers with spark detectors. You don’t need 20, and 15 will be safer. There’s no audible diffe... 
Can you live with your current speaker until you die?
Absolutely. With the caveat that subs may come and go. :) Built them myself. $1,800 in parts that I wouldn't see in any speaker less than $12khttps://speakermakersjourney.blogspot.com/2017/12/snr-1-two-way-high-end-diy-monitor.htmlBut it's not the... 
Does this image give you claustrophobia?
What I don't get is buying all that and then forcing the left speaker into a corner. It seems like the goal was to show off the McIntosh gear. It all in all feels off.Too small of a TV. 3 speakers around the TV AND the main L and R speakers ... fr... 
Does this image give you claustrophobia?
The seller didn't ask anyone's advice or opinion. Maybe it would be better to keep your opinion to yourself.You are entirely new to the internet I take it?  
Conjunction Junction – how will this function???
I run things through my TV first, and then optical out from there.  
Power conditioners and wall warts
When I had more room, I used a Furman with separate filter sections. That kept any wall wart noise 2 filters away from audio devices, while everything was protected. I don’t have that kind of room, so I use a smaller Furman and a separate conditio... 
Speaker recommendation
If you like GE, try Dali.  
Does this image give you claustrophobia?
Maybe the 32 inch TV is just the menu screen for streaming service??? Might be.Hahahaha. But it seems there are 3 speakers wrapped around it. Seriously hope this was the distributor's home. I'm reminded of a story I read, perhaps here, about a g... 
Feedback in solid state amp
The general concensus is that feedback lowers distortionwhich should mean the sound is better, Not just distortion but also improves output impedance. Meaning the amplifier is less controlled by the speaker. but based on listening, no overall fe... 
Power conditioners and wall warts
I like to put wall warts outside of the audio power conditioners.  
Speakers for.....every type of music?
Monitor Audio top shelf speakers are extremely neutral and well built. To the casual listener they are too laid back, until you spend time with them and they do everything very well.
