Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
I am not an expert, but I always thought you went with tower speakers was to create a bigger sound stage.  Why do some systems sound better because they created a sound stage to allow the listener to visualize their sound.

Who listens to CD’s these days when you can stream hi res Tidal? 
What song have you played the most?
Maybe You’re the Reason by The Japanese House.  Best quality recording I have ever heard.  Great demo song for your sound system. 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
I wonder how many have blind tested speaker cables.  It would be fun if the person conducting the test would tell the participant they were listening to the most expensive cable when in fact they were listening to the least expensive.  Perhaps the...

I have noticed how many in this group are obsessive and I think it can destroy what we set out to do and that is destroying our passion.  I think we all need to be millionaires or be satisfied with what we have.  I am thinking about upgrading my s...

Does a Subwoofer Make Spiking Redundant?

The Most Cost Effective Tweak
I personally think playing with speaker placement is very important.  I had my towers close to the back wall and as soon as I moved them about 28 inches forward and got my tape measure out the sound improved significantly.  I would like to have so... 
How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components?
I would think speakers would have the biggest impact.  I also think a pair of REL's make a huge difference, especially a lower listening volumes. 
Recommended streamers/servers?
I went with a BlueSound Node 2i.  When I purchased it, I added a DAC and the bass really thinned out.  I removed the DAC and I found the DAC built into the BlueSound Node 2i to sound much better.  It would be interesting to be able to compare soun...
