Bluesound would be my first choice. I think they will be adding Alexa with the newer models.B

What was the problem, now that you have piqued my interest?GB 
Best wood under audio components?

As far as cabling goes, I would recommend Audioquest.AQ and Vandy just seem to work hand in hand. In fact Mr. V. uses AQ for internal wiring of his speakers, as well as the pigtails on the crossovers.Bob

+1 for John Rutan.And, you could also leave a message with Mr. V. He calls back the next day, usually.FWIW, I would have the Treo's and Sub 3's set up by a dealer like Johnny, and skip the room EQ from the Lyngorf.[Though I haven't heard the Lyngo...
