Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
Bill Evans trio or MJQ  
two channel speaker/equipment consultant
You don't need a consultant just your own ears. Get out to hear as many speakers as you can and you will soon find out what you like or don't like.  
Streamers and software
I have tried so many streamers and ditched them, not so much for the sound quality but because of the software. Many people like Aurender (Conductor) but I didn't as it was useless for cataloguing classical music and I lost many albums when connec... 
Doozy of an amp question
+1 for ARC or VTL or VAC as other options.  
Shrink Totem 1's?
Please don/t do it, sell them and buy something that fits the shelf.  
Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)?
+1 to an Antipodes even if used.

Once you hear a Pass amp I suspect you will want to sell the Krell.  
Eversolo, can I do better?
+1 audiophile1  
Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp?
I haven't heard the MoFi but I have heard the Fyne and it was not for me. It struck me as more about hi fi than the music and I am very pleased to say I went the Sonus Faber route.  
274B Tube Comparison
The PS Vane is the value for money option.   
An audio component you just can't let go
VTL pre and power amps.  
Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass
Like westcoastaudiophile I see no preamplifier. If you are running straight from the DAC to the monos that could be your problem. Maybe look for a high end pre to match what is otherwise an incredibly good system, even if I don't like Wilson speak... 
Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp
I know residents of the USA are reluctant to buy Chinese but I have no hesitation in recommending Shuguang Black Treasure tubes as they are easily the best tubes I have used, including Mullards and Gold Lion.  
What is your favorite budget streamer?

about ready to dive in to streaming... PS Audio AirLens vs Aurender N10?
Aurender is very good but in my experience, Antipodes is better and has the best ever customer service.
