Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled
Defective cable would be my guess as well.  
A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair.
Audio Note AN-K/lx should fit the bill and be around $5K.

Which Jazz Artist’s Influenced your Musical Taste?
Let's add Martial Solal who I just saw passed at age 97 considered the greatest European pianist and a great composer. And @toddnlg I used to love listening to Mariam McPartland's NPR show back in the day!

@mitch2 Thanks for pointing that out never noticed! When I clicked @soix on the initial post it took me to his user page but on his reply Message User was there. Nice to learn something new today! :)  
Streamers and software
I use Auralic and their LDS app is excellent and not especially buggy. One thing to keep in mind streamers are essentially computers occasionally you may find a bug.  
Other High End Audio Forums
I highly recommend the Steve Hoffman forums.  
Which Jazz Artist’s Influenced your Musical Taste?
@soix Damn how did I freaking forget Charlie Parker!? Also lets add in for the piano Herbie Hancock and for drummers Art Blakey.  
Which Jazz Artist’s Influenced your Musical Taste?
@lalitk that's a great list but a few additions for me:   Piano: Michel Petrucciani Saxophone: Sonny Rollins, Cannonball Adderly Trumpet: Lee Morgan Guitar: Jim Hall, Herb Ellis, Joe Pass Bass: Stanley Clark And let's not forget the Trombon... 
How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff?
Any particular genre you're looking for?  
Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis
@macg19 agreed such a tragedy and @lalitk I'll have to listen to some Chris Botti it's been quite a while for me thanks for the reminder.  
Why isn’t more detail always better?
Too much detail can be very distracting I discovered that with a fantastic pushpull 45 amp in my system it was just too much.  
What % Of Your System Are Your Cables?
Looks like 11% for me at prices paid I have no idea at retail most of my cables were bought used.  
Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis
For trumpet playing I'd say Clifford Brown>Miles Davis>Lee Morgan>Freddie Hubbard>Dizzy Gillespie and then Chet Baker.   As a bandleader and composer it's no contest Miles over Chet by a mile also.   That said I really like Chet Ba... 
Noisy tube?
If you get a second of static upon warm up and it goes away nothing to worry about. That said is the static in the channel where you replaced all the tubes? If so try cleaning the tube pins that may help.
