Check out Wyred $ Sound SX 1000 R mono blocks.  
what is more popular silver or black face plates
My kitchen is silver so my system is black. Master bedroom system is mixed with red speakers.   
Movie/film suggestions.
Apocalypse Now and the Bourne movies.   
What does 90% of the Absolute Best Sound Cost?
Best is individual. Some people desire anachronism while some want all the Silicon Valley names in their solid state gear. Others like sculpted, art pieces like antique clocks. There are big rooms soaking up power and small rooms running on flea w... 
Power for two subs.
I have two of the Furman PST-8. One for my system and one for my IP phone and modem. They are plugged into a gold plated outlet I got a deal on. One unit also puts a breaker on the coax signal from my antenna.   
I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading?
Cannabis is legal in my state so I enjoy some in a stew or pastry with a glass of wine on Friday night and my system sounds lovely. I particularly love watching TV with music on watching ads muted with people looking ridiculous.

Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
Yamaha NS-5000. Made by a piano company. You will need more power than the Luxman though, at least 400 watts at 8 ohms. All the drivers are the same material for unmatched tonal accuracy.

Which inexpensive speaker cables...
Try Blue Jeans Cable in Washington (north of Oregon).  
speaker upgrade fever
Spatial Audio X4 P2 would be my choice.  
I am checking out these DAC's for my system
Emotiva XDA-3 for $700 brand new.  
Surge protectors--how many $ make sense?
My 2015 house in the American Southwest has a breaker board that trips if you burp too loudly. So I just run two entry level Furman power strips, which occasionally trip. I had an electrician inspect my $30K system. It's all class D.  He said the ... 
What has been a favourite moment in Audio?
Playing my mother's Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, and James Taylor records on her Gerard turntable,  Kenwood receiver out to her AR speakers drinking Pepsi doing pushups in front of the woodstove on a zero degree F night.
