Bookshelf speakers for near-field (desktop) use
@chiptech10 Will see if that is the case when I get the LS50W next week. If it is, I may consider the LSX then. People do seem to be very impressed by them.  
Who are some of elite sub woofers?
Gonna say REL here. It was a huge step up from the Hsu Research sub that I had (and that one was already pretty nice to me at the time).

Ended up finding a good deal on the LS50 wireless and took the opportunity to give those a try. I'll post thoughts when I get them. If I don't like them, I think I can sell them rather easily at the price I got them so there is low risk to me.

@seanheis1 Another good candidate. Reviews so far seem to think that the LS50 Wireless is an overall better speaker though (though it is more expensive). The LS50W would scale up better for future uses as well.

3 votes already for the Denton - sounds like a popular, affordable desktop speaker. I'll have to look into this...

@seasdiamondUnfortunately the Ref 1 would be a bit outside my budget but the R3 is right in my wheelhouse. Not sure how they would perform near field but I would be able to return them if I don't like them so that is another consideration.  
Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like
@arturgorniak Nice set of amps that you have been through. Not surprising that the Luxman 509x topped your list. It is fantastic providing vibrant, dynamic, controlled sound but is also a great all rounder. An end game amp for a lot of people.  
A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
@vinci92 Your comments are making me very interested in the T2. Curious to hear the difference between it and the PS Audio Directstream Junior that I have.  
A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
Another vouch for the PS Audio Directstream. I only have the DSJ but it is the best DAC that I have put in my system to date. Being able to upgrade as mentioned by @ayang90 through software updates is a big plus too. I am curious about the Lumin s... 
Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
Quite looking forward to having RC be employed in my room. My living room is open concept so the space is far from ideal - at least 20x30. I expect that the RC will be a welcome adjustment.

@jbmac75 @stevecham intrigued by the Denton suggestion. I looked them up. Only $499 at MD which is far below my budget. Not a bad thing. Have you compared them against the LS50?

@mrdon How far away do you sit from your S400's? Mine would be fairly close to me, in a 9' x 8' office. I am definitely intrigued though and would power it with either my PS Audio Sprout100 for now or my Anthem MRX510.  
Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
@grannyring I saw your message to walter above that you had some ideas for tweaks to get us closer to the tube like mids that the Line Magnetic SET amp can introduce, would you mind sharing those as well? Very curious as this was one thing that I ... 
Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
Wow, I had not realized that there were quite a few Line Magnetic owners that have also experimented with the 3400. I just jumped on the 3400 that was on sale as well and am really looking forward to having this be the primary amp for my system. A... 
Music Server - The Search Begins
@snackeyp did you end up finding a server that works best for the digital side with your Lyngdorf? Curious as I am in the same place as you - current streaming from my PS Audio Directstream and just got a Lyngdorf 3400 as well.
