Valve Amp for Sonus Faber Sonetto IIIs
@charles1dad Thank you and I'd say the same of you. And I did hear a Unison Research/Opera combo this past weekend at CAF it was an entry level amp the Unico and sounded pretty nice.  
Porsche-Design
Listening to that would get exhausting after a while.  
Trading ??? For equipment.
I've definitely done some trades over the years the one I remember best was trading my Alon Lotus SE speakers for a pair of JMlab Micro-Utopias after moving to a smaller apartment. I ran those speakers for 10 years it was an excellent trade.  
Valve Amp for Sonus Faber Sonetto IIIs
Of that group I'd go with the Synthesis Roma I am currently running their Encore, an older 6L6/5881 amp and it sounds very good. I also heard a pair of Synthesis KT66 monos at CAF sounding wonderful powering new Dolce Vita hornspeakers.  
Sound is better when I stand up?
Yes try angling them down ideally your ears should be level with the tweeters.  
Gallagher has passed away.
RIP Gallagher I was a big fan as a kid.  
To all our Veterans here, Thank You!
Yes thank you all for your service and sacrifice.  
Upgrading my digital system
@vargtimmen That upgrade makes sense then I was going by your virtual system which is much different. Good luck!  
Error message when reordering components in Virtual System
Jaytor did you go back and check to see if it actually worked? If you get an error message posting there it usually works and if you refresh you end up double posting.  
Not Chinese Fakes But Not big $$$ Either
Soundlab 745's way to go big dude but I feel your pain the Wave Radio can't cut it!  
How much does rear horn loading add to full range driver?
I fairly recently heard an 8 inch Fostex driver mater to a vintage horn tweeter it was a fantastic combo but a one off design.  I've also heard and liked Charney Audio speakers.  
Upgrading my digital system
This is just me but spending $8-9K on digital seems out of proportion to the rest of your system. Are you planning on upgrading the whole system piece by piece?  
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
You can hear them at CAF this weekend I plan to check them out looks like an interesting design and solid value.  
Not Chinese Fakes But Not big $$$ Either
I hope they sound fantastic and thanks for the post and the pics. All those tiny wires would just drive me crazy personally.  
Considering Nagra Tube Dac with Power Supply or MSB Reference ?
I'd suggest posting this over on What's Best Forum you'll get some real responses.
