How important? Very little importance….   
New Speaker advice
@2psyop , I’ve kept my lowly Focal 836w for over 2 years now. They are far from the perfect speaker but are detailed as hell and dynamic as all get out within their means. Stupid good for the 600 I paid for them. Just something about Focal. Got m... 
New Speaker advice
Not sure where you are located but there are a pair of Focal Electra 1027BE for under your budget in the on Audiogon. They are in Chicago and have been on there a few weeks now. I’ve been eying them but can’t don’t the time to take 3 hour drive ea... 
speakers for small room
On the particular Lyngdorf unit if you play vinyl just be aware is digitizes everything. If you can get over that it sounds awesome, sounds like vinyl should.   
speakers for small room
I would definitely consider using dsp room correction. My results are night and day and I’ve tried to do room treatments in the past. Floor standers, room correction and at least one sub would be my suggestion. IMO Lyngdorf RP is the cats meow. I ... 
DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER

Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
If wanna go the cheap route buy a used crown xls amp for a couple hundred and run it directly to the woofer is what I did with my old Paradigm Servo15. This will have a crossover and probably sound pretty good. Maybe better ? I wouldn’t spend more... 
Dynaudio 20XD amp module failure
They couldn’t find it? So if they looked for it they must know the part number?   
After a long, long sleep: ML-335
I would probably just plug it in and let er ride! But….. I think GS5556’s suggestion is the better one and you should do that.   
Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better?
I would love to hear these new gan amps against a proper tube setup. Not saying one would be better just curious.    I will say my new to me Lyngdorf 3400 I would put up against anything in my room. Just for the fact of the outstanding room corre... 
USB DACs that outperforms OPPO 105D's internal DAC?
Used Gustard R26 or Musician Pegasus would be the 2 dacs I would look at for around a grand.   
Focal Aria 948
I’ve never heard the complaint the 948 had not sufficient bass extension but the opposite it was bass heavy. I had 906 for a while and they had excellent bass extension for the size, very room filling kind of bass. It was a little on the slow side...
