What is the most overlooked consideration?
@arafiq  well put  
KEF Ls50wii vs. Ls50 Meta passive
yes it will be but the LS50 Meta needs a subwoofer as you don't want the mid-surround to move much or else concentric driver related diffraction and doppler distortion will be high @pugstub  I assume you have the streamer, DAC and PS Audio device?  
Bass management--high/low pass filtering
yes, my system has a DSP tool as the DAC/Pre/Streamer that also has subwoofer outs and a bass management system so integrating a subwoofer is less tasking with it. So, unless you're willing to change your system I guess others can chime in @cooper... 
Is Stream via ethernet Superior to BlueTooth?
Ethernet is wired so there is lossless transmission. Bluetooth is inherently a lossy protocol so that is the difference. You hearing that difference is another different thing @bernadie5317   
Out of Balance
You can find out using Ozone Imager   
Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments
@captouch oh then I guess you gotta use the best fit that gives the least dip in the below 60Hz region. I thought it was just the front wall bare behind your speakers

Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments
@captouch have you tried as close to the front wall as possible to see how that looks? Close enough that your speaker cables may touch the wall but not be deformed  
How much power needed to drive 91db speakers?
@curiousjim like I said you don't need a new amp but if you wanna dabble regardless that's your decision. Have fun :)  
Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best?
@rwbadley and it tries but doesn't sing and dance to worth that money  
What does the audio term 'air' mean?
Frequency Response descriptors @audio-b-dog  
Any Moonriver 404 users out there?
@gano the Hegel should be perfect for it  
Any Moonriver 404 users out there?
The Hegel should work with either then. Is it the Vandersteen Treo CT or something else? @gano   
How much power needed to drive 91db speakers?
It is a combination of the voltage ease which 91dB @2.83V/1m is very easy load voltage wise but what is the electrical phase shift like? That can mean you'd need a high current amp. But yes plugging these parameters into this calculator -    Eve... 
Unusual countries for audio gear
Lol. Asia is the Mecca of audio products. Specifically China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Vietnam. Whatever countries you mentioned pale in comparison when it comes to sheer innovation and incredible gear from these countries I've mentioned...
