Floor Speakers Speakers for Movies / TV
The best within budget are Tekton Moabs. I have them, you will not find better until at least twice your budget. Absolutely the best midrange, period. No way you will find better dialog than this.  Big, full, tight and articulate bass- not at all ... 
If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?
djones51- I’ve never understood what Mahgister was talking about, especially concerning timbre. I’ll give my layman version, timbre is how I can tell a trumpet from a clarinet playing the same notes.Right. We don’t even need a fancy audiophile de... 
Raven Audio Nighthawk MK3
stonecutter54, You just heard allears4u say his Raven has more slam and sheer volume than 175 watts. What more do you need??! Where do these ideas come from, anyway? All those great electric guitar players, what do you think they use? SS? Guess ag... 
Separate subwoofer amplifier with remote. What would work for stereo setup?
Ouch. Remember, my name is a killing word. 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
Wow. One of the best descriptions of the Holy Grail of high end sound I ever heard.  
Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp
Get the Herron. What I have, fabulous, highly recommended. Only reason I didn't, a bit above the OP budget. Probably if side by side it would come down to one is pure tube (and triode at that!) the Herron does use JFET. I think. Something SS in th... 
Gotten Any Good Trash Records Lately?
Okay, so they ship junk. At least it's free junk. I paid $20 for a MoFi Year of the Cat, supposedly NM vinyl but cheap due to the cover being water damaged. When I got it the cover looked like it had soaked a month in a flooded basement, and while...

I hear ya. I had to use Paula Treides on ZH.   But seriously, SA1000, totally the way to go.  https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 
Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp
The Vincent will be a baby step and the Concept will be a lateral move. Thin gruel for the money. The Decware ZP3 will be a huge leap forward, and well within budget even if you do need to get the SUT for your Hana. Lifetime warranty, perfect for ... 
Separate subwoofer amplifier with remote. What would work for stereo setup?
What you want is the Dayton SA1000 sub amp. There is no stereo with subs. You can hook em up that way. You can position and pretend they are stereo. But it is all mono. Eliminate the requirement for a remote and you are in like Flynn.(If you are g... 
Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review
When did you get the F1 duckworp? The F1 is not very common, hardly anyone here has heard them. You should review them for us!  
WSJ steaming article
The most striking fact about latter-day discussions about sound quality and streaming may be just how far ahead of its time the compact disc was. Indeed. So far ahead that even now 40 years later it is still "analog-like". 
Gotten Any Good Trash Records Lately?
I bought a MoFi recently that was trash. But it was the "product" not packing. Someone actually uses records as packing material? RU nuts? Cover I could understand but records are heavy and weight costs money. So you're kidding, right? Man April F... 
Speaker terminal polarity
Does it matter as long as I have each amp wired to its corresponding speaker the same way?No. 
Schumann Resonator
 And if I don't hear an improvement (even after weeks) the tweak is gone. You got me beat on patience. If I don't hear a difference immediately it is gone. Whatever it is. Whatever it cost.
