Kef LS60 & Ethernet cables
The best way to tame an acoustically challenged room is to apply DSP including room correction if you are up for that. Various devices and software including Roon can do that for you. ls60 incorporates DSP to some extent so that is promising. May... 
Are your records a health concern?
You got a point there judge!  
Fosi V3 Mono...when inexpensive satisfies
What speakers are you driving with them?  
Please help me!
Unless you have the funds and consider changing fun, just first take a deep breath and relax. Take your time, digest some useful feedback then decide what if anything to do next.   
Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why?
I spent some time auditioning SF II Cremonese earlier this week. They were very nice sounding and looking. Statement speakers indeed! Worth $55k? The cost of a nice luxury SUV? Hmmm…well hold on a second. I picked up a very nice pair of used SF C... 
New speakers for a new start?
I’d go for Ohm Walsh 5000s or similar: if you can find a pair or afford new ones and drive them with a high power newer Class D amplification, 100 watts minimum or as high as you can go. I’d recommend Hypex or Purifi based like those from Vtv, ... 
Why can’t “Side A” and “Side B” be a bigger font?!?!
Hey the prices for new records are way up.  But they can’t fix a simple problem like this?  What’s the story?  🤔

Related story: The other day I visited my local hifi shop as I often do when passing by. I was able to connect my iPhone to their network and stream any of “my” music on any of the systems they had set up, At least several dozen different choice... 
KEF LS60 WIRELESS + KC62 SUB OR HEGEL H390/KEF R7 META + KC62 SUB?
@mrbanker32   Hard to say. I’ve heard ls60 and R11 meta both sans sub. Have never heard Hegel. I would expect either with sub set up right to sound very good. The kef ls60 is a fantastic product in that it does it all and is designed to maximiz... 
KEF LS60 WIRELESS + KC62 SUB OR HEGEL H390/KEF R7 META + KC62 SUB?
If space is the issue definitely ls60 route.    If not the other option becomes more practical.     Both are good options.   Size does matter.  So does aesthetics and features.  You get to decide.

Is D for Dry? Class D...
Pretty useless review. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.    Class D rules.  Never going back again.
