most beautiful (looking) speakers
Any Tekton - sound is beauty  
Speakers: Anything really new under the sun?
holmz When auditioning speakers (or anything for that matter) take your own content and control the remote - lol      
Buyer Dispute
Several things and excuse me if they’ve been mentioned - impossible to read all the comments.  Why would the manufacturer take ones word that tweeters are bad and send replacements without an authorized tech diagnosing them?  If the tweeters are b... 
Speakers for daughter
Audiotroy sells (at least ) 3 of the speaker brands you have narrowed down to - maybe you should visit his store.

Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-160M are also on sale and within your budget.

KEF Q350 - 499$ on sale at Crutch…* w/ free shipping through this month - hard to beat uni-q point source driver if you have less than optimum room placement options.  It’s a little above your budgeted price but worth listening to.    
Best speakers around $130k?
I like the PMC Fenestria - they include little CD holders at the top and bottom of each speaker, they look really cool and they are below the OPs price point.    
Smallish room speakers
verdantaudiothanks for the recommendation - I suppose I should take a road trip up to see you - do you have a store?   I’m very satisfied with the SVS  1000 Pro  - again I have about 1 cubic foot  where I can/am allowed to place a subwoofer in my ... 
Smallish room speakers

MC?  You were getting kinda boring so maybe it’s better for all of us you take a break (I have Tektons but they’re not as earth shattering as some would have you believe ).  But I haven’t spent innumerable hours tweaking them which maybe defeats t... 
any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with
I used a Nativ Vita with Roon to a McIntosh C40 and an NAD amp.  Loved it - sold the McIntosh and NAD and bought NAD M33 w/ BluOS - - love it more - claims to be Roon ready but I haven’t been able to do that.  But integrated BluOS in the NAD along... 
Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible?
@madavid0 I don’t know why anyone would respond to your post - I’m not responding to your post but to the people who have responded to your post - 😂  
Opening Record Store
I had a small (1,000 sq. Ft.) vintage store for 3 years - had 1,500 records in the store all classic rock unless I could find jazz.  All Vg+ or better and most NM or I didn’t sell them.  Over 2/3rd of them were priced at $6.00.  Could never/rarely... 
Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance.
So after reading a lot of this is my belt driven VPI Classic 30th anniversary junk? 
What’s really hurting the audio hobby?
Millennials are minimalist - minimalism and audiophile do not go too well together.  I have a small record/vintage shop (about 1,500 lps which are mostly classic rock) and sell (or at least try to sell) vintage stereo equipment.  My best customers...
