Selling gear made to be a set
It's much easier to sell two pieces individually than as a set usually is all I'll say.  
Concerning high end audio names in new cars
I have a "Fender tuned" system AKA Panasonic in my 2017 VW GLI and I think it sounds just fine. I wasn't expecting much after all I am listening in a car.  
Moving again...system finally complete...back to starting over
At the very least you should keep those Spendors fantastic speakers.  
I'm thinking about a low watt tube amplifier?
I don't think a 4 watt amp and your speakers will work very well I thought that 97db didn't sound right as WB speakers are not known as being very efficient. If you don't listen to loudly in a smallish room you can probably get away with a 20 watt... 
JADIS DEFY7, can not get it to sing
Are you sure it's safe long-term running just the 4 output tubes and leaving those other slots empty?  
Used vs new Tube mono amp? - same model
Assuming the older amp is performing to spec it really shouldn't make any difference.  
Can a system sound too Holographic?
+1 @larsman   
Shindo vs the world
@lalitk Having heard both Shindo and Wolf Von Langa you're on a great track there! And to the OP my one friend who had a full Shindo system sold it to help fund opening a restaurant. So it's not always something better that necessitates a sale!  
UPDATE. ARC REF 6 upgrade to 6SE.
Very fast turnaround especially considering the recent sale of ARC congrats trackman!  
Why are speaker stands so expensive?!
My Sound Anchor 3 post stands were $500 I bought them same time as my speakers and they were a worthwhile investment rock solid.    
Question re: Aurender N20 Server, Qobuz album takes 10-15 seconds to start playing
hgiefman that download speed is crazy high something definitely seems out of whack, your upload speed seems normal. I hope the service call straightens things out for you.

It's definitely not your Ipad I run an ancient Ipdad Mini as a remote control for my Auralic Aries Mini it works just fine the culprit is likely upstream.  
Furutech Mains Power Cables Hierarchy & Differences
 I’m using cable rolled by Chris Venhaus of VHAudio S-032N with FI-11 gold plated connectors.  They were a steal for under $400 back when I bought them 5 years ago and sound excellent, neutral with just a touch of warmth.  
Probably a dumb question
I see 5 Coda pieces on Audiomart right now 6 Plinius, 5 Gryphon and 7 Boulder. If you're looking for specific models maybe try wanted ads?  
New, Very Interesting CD Transport
