Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
I hope you are kidding.the real answers is you must be able to do 100 push-ups in a minute. 
Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...
My wife would skin me alive if I brought home something this ugly. 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
I still don't know what the attraction for turntables and vinyl is all about other than the looks of a $20,000 turn table.Right now I think streaming is what it is all about.  So nice to not have to get up and down to change an album or song.  Plu... 
Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i?
If you add an external DAC to the Node 2i, you will not be able to listen to MQA.  I purchased an external DAC with my Node 2i and preferred the Node 2i played by itself.  Bass was better with just the Node 2i and I thought the imaging was also be... 
Lumin or Aurender
What's wrong with your Bluesound Node 2i?I will bet if you do a blind test and compare all three, you might not be able to detect much of a difference.  I would be curious if the dealer told you, you were listening to either the Lumin or Aurender ... 
Speakers that are a great value!
You need to call Jim Salk at Salk Audio.  He sells only direct so he can afford to use the best drivers and cabinet build.  The Song3 Encores are incredible at $6,000/pair.Tell him Larry Edwards from Denver sent you.  
How long could it take
I think if you list them for $5 they would sell fast. 
How Do You Live The Audiophile Life
A lot depends on where you live and the dealers there.  Reviews are misleading because it depends upon how much the manufacturer discounted the equipment to the writer.Audio  shows are helpful.  However, how many years before we have one due to CO... 
How Do You Live The Audiophile Life
Going to audio shows is really helpful.  Hear they are having one in 2025. 
What could cause this amp to fail?
This is why i always buy new.  Nothing like having a 5 year warranty.  I am sure there are reasons why people sell of their equipment.  
Big source improvement using CD player
I agree.  Try TIDAL.  No noise and better sound quality.  If you really must have a CD/DVD player buy an OPPO.  Have fun getting up and down to change music.  I can play one or two tunes from TIDAL and then move onto the rest or build my own mix o... 
Unbelievable
You kidding me.......Yamaha speakers!Listen to a pair of Salk speakers before you buy.  Bowers & Wilkins might also be a good choice or Paradigm. 
Streaming from Bluesound Node2i
You certainly can.I purchased an external DAC with digital coax and lost the complete unfold of MQA.  I think people are crazy if they can't hear the difference when listening to MQA.  I listened to the Node 2i at the dealer and they added an exte... 
Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel
I believe I do.  I have two REL S2 SHO subs.  It sounds even and seamless.  This allows you to play them down in volume and to blend in.  The object is to never detect a subwoofer in a system. 
Set-up with two subs and an integrated amp
It took me a year to make a decision on choosing a subwoofer.  I decided to go with a pair of REL S2 SHO's and it was definitely the right way to go.  Their high level connection allows them to act as an additional woffer on my towers.  Takes time...
