Have you considered a dac?  
Analog vs. digital
It use to be one had to spend alot of money to get digital even close to analog.With all the advancements in dacs including lower cost its the opposite now....but as they say there are 3 reasons why analog is inferior..1/ snap 2,/crackle 3/ pop...... 
What is the best 2 channel listening chair?
I've been shopping lately for a new solo chair..the stressless chairs are ok but way way overpriced for what you get,they seem rather stiff as well...the Herman Miller chair ive had and thought it sucked, it did keep its value though..I like for t... 
***HUM***BUZZ***CRACKLE***POPPPP= Dead Amp...Where To Service???
HUM***BUZZ***CRACKLE***POPPPP.......are you sure your not describing sounds coming from a turntable?  
Avalon Acoustics reputation
Being a previous owner of Avalon in 90s its a new ball game now...one company that needs to hang out at pass labs customer service for awhile to see how it's done...I'd avoid this brand totally.   
Has Anyone Tried Nobsound Springs Or Other Isolation Devices Below REL Subwoofers?
Owner of 3 S510s  at present..I tried both springs and platforms...sucked...do what the manufacturer tells you to do.  
Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?
I ran Jadus tube gear for years,in the 90s it cost more than a grand to retube a defy7....solid state has come so far in the past decade ie..Boulder,Constellation, Dartzel, Pass labs etc there is no reason to mess with tube amps anymore imo  
The strong opinions around ceramic speakers
Some of the best speakers in the world are ceramic based..ie Marten,Kharma,Tidal,Lawrence, just off the top of my head...no idea where your brain set is to be honest.......

My room is a bit bigger 19x15 w 10' ceilings..I run (3) S510..it sounds fantastic to me...I went from one T7i  to one S510  intially and it was eye opening...adding the second was a transformation...the 3rd behind was not so much and sometimes I d... 
Tubes getting hard to come by?
With the quality of solid state amps these days ie Gryphon, Boulder, Constellation  etc...why bother with it?...and that was a rhetorical question   
Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG
Yep the listing are way down, I don't even look at ad here anymore..I buy and sell on FB and USAM....just follow the money as they say..no reason to do business  here with the communication restrictions and fees when it's all free elsewhere...next!  
Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs
What a mess..Snappers running harbeth? Guess that's why your asking for sub ideas,lol...Have you watched videos on how the rel drivers are made on that particular sub you reference...  
Question about upgrading my SACD player
Keep your sacd player, use it as a transport, with 2 grand buy a quality dac...and if buying used you can get one great dac  
Boutique or Big Brand?
Repeating expecting different results should be the first thing to come  into your mind...you have some good suggestions and buying used makes more sense to me at your price point...5 to 6 grand used  is a good place to be , no need to compromise ... 
Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
IMO, I totally agree with atmosphere...well written and it just magnifies how stupid that statement "amp is an amp" is...
