If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly
I feel streaming Tiday using my BlueSound Node 2i to be incredible, especially their h res master recordings.  I would never go back to playing CD’s.  I don’t even have to get up to change albums or songs. 
Newly patented, infinitely adjustable system tuning
What is the make and model of the system you are talking about? 
Difference between amps
I ended up with an ARCAM AVR 550.  However, I wish I could have afforded to pay $5,800 for the ARCAM AVR 850.  Their G technology is incredible, as the first 50 watts are pure A.  I had a real problem with their customer support and they are proba... 
Floor-standing vs Book-shelf from upper line up?
Held22, can’t beat the Salks and worth the wait. Love Jim Salk! 
Not in love with my system yet. Help!
You lost me.  Are you saying your Parasound Integrated amp can handle both 2 channel stereo as well as home theater.  I apologize for not having the kind of knowledge this group has.   
Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work?
For some reason I am not sure the make and model of both your main speakers and your subwoofers?  Can't imagine you can buy an audiophile subwoofer for that price range? 
Is this how a Subwoofer Crossover is supposed to work?
This is why I purchased two REL S2 SHO subwoofers.  They use a high level connection to make their subwoofers act as lower end subwoofers to extend the bass on the main speakers.  If you set things up correctly, you won't hear their subwoofers ove... 
Tweeters are silent on my Wilson audio Sofia 2
Kind of late now to expect Wilson to warranty their speakers.  Lot of money to spend for speakers without tweeters. 
Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog?
Today I prefer hi res streaming.  I remember playing vinyl, even on a new recording and I could hear the noise of the needle tracking the vinyl.  I wonder if buying a $20,000 turn table eliminates the noise.  To me CD's and streaming sounds crispe... 
Getting paid
I sold a ProJect S2 DAC and Optical Cable through Audiogon and was paid right away. 
Living room system: class A or AB amps?
I like the ARCAM AVR 850.  They have class G technology which provides pure class A for the first 50 watts. 
Speaker upgrade for classical music
I personally do not think of Marantz and audiophile quality.  I use their largest receiver in our family room hooked up to a Definitive Technology surround speakers and a much better system in the living room.  Perhaps you should stretch your budg... 
Budget tower speakers that rock!
I would suggest saving up and not wasting your money.  Sometimes you have to be patient or take on a second job.  Perhaps call RENT A SPEAKER. 
For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.
What amazes me is how the wives let their husbands goober up their homes with such ugly gear.  Things need to fit in without destroying the looks of a room.   
Do speaker wires matter
I would bet more on buying a decent amp and decent speakers.  I am sure speaker wire can make a slight difference, but how much do you spend is another question.  I would think speaker wire under $1,000 would be sufficient.
