What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?
The album "Nightbirds" by Labelle with the song Lady Marmalade is not available for streaming or purchase. I managed to find a used CD on Ebay for a reasonable price but it's pretty rare.   
Bluesound
I got that message today using Quboz. I rebooted and it played normally. Then it happened again and I just started selecting various playlists and it stopped. I'll update if it happens again.   
Casters to replace spikes
I've used 14" square plant rollers from Amazon. I've never put more than 60lbs on them but they work well under that weight. I put a layer of 1/4 inch neoprene and a piece of 1/2" MDF on top. It raises them about 3".   
Building crossovers

New speakers for a new start?
+1 for the JBL 4349s. They're on my future list. 4367s even more but that's more of a wish list.   
New speakers for a new start?
Then another vote for JBLs. 12 inch woofers move a lot of air. No sub needed.

Want to build a rack with sandwich layered dampening
I used 1/4 inch neoprene in between all the joints in my rack as I assembled it. There's no direct contact between wood and metal parts except screws that also go through the neoprene.   
New speakers for a new start?
+1 for JBL and ATC. Given your musical preferences both brands offer the punch and clarity you would enjoy. JBLs also offer adjustable mids and highs for fine tuning.
