Audioengine Bluetooth vrs. Bluesound node 2
Good point source quality of internet stations varies widely so be sure to compare apples/apples. 
Triangle Titus 202 or Triangle Comete ES?
An update on my Triangle Titus setup.These days in same room, on good quality Dynaudio stands, no sub, and running off newer Bel Canto c5i the sound is finally back at the very highest levels that I have heard with these in the past, perhaps best ...

Good wifi based streaming gear streaming CD res or higher should compare and perhaps even surpass CD depending. Bluesound has very good reputation and I would not expect that to bottleneck sound quality possible especially if external high quality...

You'll maybe understand these things someday perhaps. .  Don't give up.   
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I’ll take the first stock Flat cheap tweeter I think. You also should do some off axis measures if that matters for you. I’d like to know how the folded ribbon compares in particular. Also have you seen the audio frequency response chart online? T... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
kalili in the case of magnepans fuses are directly in the signal path of the speakers I believe a case where they are more likely to make a difference. I don’t think anyone has challenged the greater likelihood of their potential effect on sound i... 
Help me pick an Integrated for Tannoy XT6F
I have Bel Canto c5i which does analog, phono and digital (also quality headphone amp) and have considered those Tannoys for use with it. That would be my choice.  Used would be in your price range.  Mine was. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I don’t know. Just saying I would not assume two different models are equivalent sound wise unless known otherwise. The devil is always in the details. I’ve never heard anything but positive reviews of MicroWalsh talls. Don’t know what might be di... 
Whats playing on your system today?
nutty I picked up Voodoo Moon recently.   Have not had a chance to soak in yet but always enjoy Savoy Brown.    Saw them live for first time a couple years back in an excellent small venue and was not disapointed. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Bondman I worked part time at Lafayette Radio in Lancaster Pa. It was located in a strip center outside of town (Two Guys was anchor store) and moved to Park City Center for a brief period. When it closed the location became Radio Shack store and ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
peter I don’t do surround sound but from what I have seen most surround speakers do not perform as well as mains unless I am mistaken (size and lower cost per reflects that). I would expect same with microwalsh surrounds (more limited) versus main... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I'd be willing to bet the crossover frequency with Microwalsh (smallest driver) is higher than with 5000 (largest).   How much?  Don't know but probably enough information available for analysis to make an educated guess. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I've seen that done on various pieces over the year.    It makes for a better electrical connection which is always a good thing as has been cited  though makes replacing harder.   You would have to check the specific devices warranty to see what ...
