I need a recommendation on Class D amp
Atma-Sphere Class D Mono's.  
Your greatest high end audio purchase!!!
Great question and what fun to read everyone's comments! I owned a pair of original Snell Type-E's around 1981. I replaced the woofers a couple of times as the foam gave out. After Peter Snell passed on the company evolved away from my personal so... 
What speakers work with low wattage class A amps
My DeVore O/93's work great with low wattage amps.  
What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable?
VPI Prime Signature  
For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like?
I have had 1B's, 3 models of 2's, Treo CT's and Quatro CT's. I have since moved on to DeVore O/93's. Zero bad to say about the Vandy's. Wonderful sound for decades for me. The CT upgrade was a big one. Finally, I walked into the man cave and looke... 
Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo
Not mentioned yet is the Cary DMS 800PV. It is a fantastic Streamer/DAC flagship piece. Great sound and fully balanced unit. Coming in at just under $12k at Carydirect.com    
Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer?
Future Proof and DAC generally do not go well together. That said people have mentioned DAC's like the PS Audio that via FPGA firmware are upgradeable for a number of years. At some point a manufacturer will need to make something new as they have... 
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
I am hedging my bets because this is a hobby and I like to have fun with my gear. I have just acquired a Denon DP-60L TT for my albums. I have an Oppo 205 for shiny discs (and home theater) and I have a Cary DMS-700 DAC/Streamer all hooked up to m...

Two new Schiit Yggdrasil's released yesterday!
Here is an article on the press event at Schitt HQ.https://headphone.guru/a-day-at-the-schiitr-schiit-launches-three-flavors-of-yggy/ 
This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree
You left out Crosley. 
What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities?
Vandersteen Treo CT's are outstanding at this price point. Exceptional high end clarity. A completely different approach would be the DeVore Fidelity O/93's. Both are excellent in the Mid $8k range. 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
Good to hear you are off to a great start! I did get the stands for the LS50's and I am pleased that I did. I assume you will enjoy yours when they arrive. 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
I have the S50's paired with an SVS SB16 Ultra. It sounds very nice and gives the 50's that extra low end help all stand mounts need. I am powering them with my modded Cary SLI-80. 40 watts in Triode are plenty and I love the sound. 
KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way
Keep us posted. I have a pair of LS50's and still enjoy them. I am curious about the new Meta's.
