Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96
I have owned the 0/93's for 3 years now.  Originally had it paired with Line Magnetic 518, and now for the last year with a Leben CS600x. Cabling is all Auditorium 23.  Having listened to Harbeth's, I prefer the O's.  Placement is key, but the amp... 
Upgrade DAC recommendation
I use a Lumin U1 mini with a Denafrips Terminator dac, very happy with the results.   
What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1
I run the Leben 600x w my Devore 0/93.  Very nice combination.  PM me if you want to discuss the amp further. 
Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used)
Audioengine A5 + Audioengine S8 subwoofer......used..... 
Diminishing Returns
Omega? 
Luxman dealers
Glen with Arizona Hi Fi......Scottsdale.Super cool guy, easy to talk to and he is happy to share his experiences.   
Another streaming newbie
Used Lumin U1 mini or Innous Mini 3 + Schiit Bifrost Multibit dac should b a combo that provides u w very good streaming quality.  Good luck. 
Looking for best streamer without DAC under $3500
+1 for Lumin U1 miniI run mine with a MHDT, or Mojo dac and it is fantastic. 
Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there
If u decide to stay tube, give a Line Magnetic 518ia consideration. SET, 22wpc, but very capable watts.  4/8/16 ohms taps available.  A little hum, yes.....but gloriously musical. Best of luck in ur search.    
Fairly new to streaming. Where to start?
Lumin U1 mini with a MHDT outboard dac.  This pairing provides good sound quality, the Lumin app is super easy with ios and android.  Best of luck. 
$3000 stand mounted speakers?
Legacy Studio HD

+1 for Lumin u1 mini..... 
Streamers with best apps?
+1 Lumin U1 miniUpnp open home allows u to use multiple apps.....some better than others. 
Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2
Lumin mini w chord qutest...... 
Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever)
Give Line Magnetic amps a shot.......they r wonderful.  Their SET amps make great partners to high efficiency speakers.  I own the 518ia w devore 0/93 and it is magical.I hope when I am 80 that I have ur hearing and affinity for great music.
