Where does it end?
Are you asking the buyers, the vendors, or both here? 
Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation?
The other option is run different hifis in different rooms. Then take your pick where to listen...different rooms provide different opportunities. Streaming and wireless technology opens up new options not possible in years past. Gotta think out o... 
If the PS Audio Stellar 700M is as great as all the reviewers say....
Have not heard them but I’ll bet they probably are.  
Vanatoo speakers - should I get them for hifi sound?
Yes. I have transparent one encores. Heard them and zeros at a high end show. The room was mobbed and everyone impressed. Including me. Lots of cutting edge technology applied to deliver a most cost effective product.I also have KEF Ls 50. metas. ...

Options for integrateds for Ohm Walsh Tall 2000s?
When I hear “too perfect” I’m thinking the sound of Quad Electrostats but with good dynamics top to bottom. That was the reference sound I was shooting for when I decided to give the newer Ohms a try. They can deliver that but only with amps that ... 
I need more Power Scotty !!!!
I have both ls50s and ls 50 metas.Having driven ls50s with various amps I'll go out on a limb and say your Outlaw receiver has plenty of power for those.So question is what is it you are looking for in terms of sound when you say you want more pow... 
If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?

Great philosopher once said "you make bold assertions in public.....then be prepared for the challenge". That’s just how it goes....So be prepared. Otherwise it may not be such a great idea to start with. Crying victim after the fact is never a go...

Oh no now I no longer know what to do for sure! Disclaimer: I may be biased.  I could even be very biased.....but probably not. 
Perfect Pop Songs
"Wichita Lineman" by Glen Campbell.I like the "Winchester Cathedral" nomination as well.Just for contrast I’ll toss in "Highway Star" by Deep Purple. Once the opening riff starts you are helpless.and for something more modern: Alesso - Heroes (we ... 
Best skiinny floorstanders
Ohm Walsh the best, but also always liked the old Totems, aka Arro, Forest, etc., for something more conventional but not obtrusive, especially with current used prices. PSB Synchrony also very good. 
CD or Streaming... am I missing out?
You are missing out if not streaming.  Sound quality is not an issue. 
Why No Love For Peachtree Audio?
Good to hear! On paper, their stuff seems hard to beat for overall performance and value. 
Options for integrateds for Ohm Walsh Tall 2000s?
I've seen that Wyred amp at a very good price recently and would expect it to do a very good job with Ohms.   I understand the "too perfect" comment and don't find that a surprise.   Where does one go from there?   "Good sound" always  comes down ...
