Lumin D2 - Late the Table
@sebrof   I run an extender here with all my Lumin demo units (and other streamers as well) and it works with no issues. 
Alternatives to Brick and Mortar
Interesting thread......As an audio retailer, I can perhaps provide a little insight as well.It's for sure sad to see quite a few dealers leaving the market.  Home based dealers (like myself) are becoming a more popular option that allows less ove...

The Sugden IA4 is a fantastic sounding unit that would save you a few bucks over the options you posted.https://www.sugdenaudio.com/ia-4-integrated-amplifierOr go all out and go for the new Riviera Labs Levante! https://www.rivieralabs.com/en/prod... 
Lumin T2 or Matrix Audio Element X
The Lumin T2 is a nice streamer.  One of my favorite streamers that I see in terms of performance to cost.The Matrix units look interesting.  I had actually never heard of the company until your post. 
Streamers sans DAC?
What's the price point you would like to be around?  Lumin has the U1 and U1 Mini.http://www.luminmusic.com/lumin-u1.htmlhttp://www.luminmusic.com/lumin-u1-mini.html

Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?
These were mentioned above, but the 2 models that always come to mind for me are:Joseph Pearl 3KEF Blade 
Anyone ever compare the PS Audio Stellar amp (class D) to Benchmark ABH2 (class a/b)?
PS Audio Dealer here****I've never heard the Benchmark amps, so I can't really comment on those.  But having sold quite a few pairs of the PS M700s and S300s, I'm still extremely impressed with their performance.  At their price points, they are q... 
Rega P8 with Alpheta 2?
Rega dealer here***The P8 is a fantastic table.  I've been extremely impressed with it since it was released.The Apheta 2 is also a nice cart.  At it's retail price point of $1900, it has quite a few contenders that many think are just as good.  H... 
Can you recommend a small (in size) Amplifier 150 -250 W Power per channel
Do you need small height or small width? (or both)?What price range are you looking for? 
VPI Prime or Prime Signature?
VPI dealer here****Which Classic do you have?Your setup is quite nice as it is.  In terms of "significant upgrade",  you are really not going to see that with either option.  If you want minor changes (note separation, tighter bass response, sligh... 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
The answer Mark just gave is pretty close to how I feel.I would certainly say more then a slight improvement, but night and day would probably be going to far....as the originals are just such good speakers. 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
For those asking, to me the new Graphene versions have a fuller overall sound with an increase in bottom end and bass definition.  Midrange is slightly improved.....and still the same fantastic top end that the Pulsars/Perspectives always had.   
Considering a new SACD Player
Like mentioned above, the Marantz SA-10 is fantastic.  Or, if you don't care about balanced out, the Marantz SA-KI Ruby is also extremely nice at a good price savings over the SA-10.
