Recommendations for good sounding streamer
As others mentioned, Spotify is quite low-rez. I felt tied to it because of playlists and album lists like you and your daughter, only to find, during a Tidal trial, that when switching to Tidal, they offer links to online utilities that can impo... 
Best Amps for Magneplanar 1.7i Speakers
This was published quite recently. The Music room compared sound using 3 different amps. The differences noticed between different types of amps could be useful.

Do speaker cables really make a difference ?

Lyra Kleos arrives after eight months. . Worth the wait? First impressions
Thanks for the review. Keep us posted as it breaks in. Upscale Audio and MusicDirect both report that they keep it in stock and is available for immediate delivery. Strange that you had to wait so long.  
Magnepan LRS in the house!
Enjoy your new LRS! When your LRS+ come in, and break in, I'd love to hear your impressions.  I had SMG's, MMG's and 1.6's but retiring & downsizing left me with a listening room that was too small for the 1.6's. I was always floored by the...

Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
"Pure" by The Golden Palominos  Obscure to me anyways. They released a dozen or more albums and were known for never having a consistant "sound".  They were headed by a drummer and most members played a few months or years...being rotated out. ... 
Magnepan .7 Alternatives
I used Maggie SMGs, MMGs and the 1.7s over a 40 year period. I was one of those Magneplaner devotees. BTW, as several have said, they integrate beautifully with REL subs. I down-sized to a smaller home 2 years ago. My previous listening room was... 
Where did you buy your first audio gear?
@fertguy Where in KC did you buy your system? While in high school...1st system 1972 at an electronics store called "Henshaws", a place that sold stereo and CB radios, I got a Dual 1218 with a Shure cartridge, Technics receiver and Jensen 3 way s... 
Is this a audioquest cable counterfeit fake?
I am in Industrial printing, which includes packaging. The industry, like most others has been hit with supply line shortages. Packaging materials taken for granted for years/decades are suddenly unavailable for the forseeable future. Package pro... 
Does dose anyone see these speakers in real?
The thread title is indeed odd @Roxy54... and so is the article's title "Most expensive 5 million dollar speaker". I wonder what the least expensive 5 million dollar speaker looks like?
