Live event calendar
Looks like a fun summer of music! I have good friends in Oakland but haven't been out since 2016 I need to do that next year.  
I’ve got the upgrade itch
@roxy54 I would have to imagine Atma-spherica is how a good Atma-sphere system makes your room sound. ;) And to the OP a good preamp should make a significant difference and your ideas are good ones.

looking for a more efficient speaker.....
