| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K Planars are generally not ideal for pop music otherwise take your choice with that budget. I’d be looking at KEF meta or Revel personally were it me. | |
| Can I use 2 different streamers in different systems through Qobuz? You can stream in as many systems as you like if each has a streamer input. | |
| What affects front to back depth in room/ system? Good Omni directional speakers like mbl do it best but are still limited in most rooms at home unless they can be set up just right to get levels and timing of reflected sound just right. | |
| Finally got a Luxman Luxman is very cool. Enjoy! | |

| Indispensable Tool! I could see where something like this might work. Kinda like going to the gym and getting the body moving in different ways than usual. A hifi workout? Hmmmm…. One can easily download free REW (Room EQ Wizard) software and run a test sweep on ... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results I'd be most happy to only rely on digital volume/level setting. So much more accurate, flexible and reliable to process a digital signal (DSP) compared to analog equivalent. | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results If one carefully assesses impedance and voltage specs and/or any measurements available and how well each piece in the signal chain directly integrates with the others accordingly you might get a clue as to which combo is most likely to sound best... | |
