Maggies and subwoofer integration
@margaretha I agree with you on not using subs with Maggie's,  but just with the larger panels.  I've owned 2.5R's all the way up 20.1's.  With the right amps, (2) never felt i was Bass deprived. For music listening,  IMO,  there is no better bass... 
New streamer
@mapman I agree with you about Cambridge offerings. I have the CNX V2. Sounds great,  but I must admit, I'm curious about the Eversolo A8

Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound?
Sometimes more is just More!  
Benchmark or McIntosh....
I never owned Mac's or Benchmarks. It seems to me that the whole purpose of this room is for home theater.. Wouldn't the meters from the Mac's be a distraction while watching a movie...
