Your favorite KT 150 based amplifier?
Thanks so far. @twoleftears thanks for providing my speaker specs.I hadn't thought of Allnic, interesting product. I'm considering the older ARC gs150 instead of newer 160 just due to value, but I'd love to hear either. The octave also really appe... 
Subwoofers with room correction built in?
Well, I'm a few days into using my new Elac 3070.  The auto-eq feature smooths things out a little, but in my room it does not appear to make all that much of a difference.  The room has rarely caused me problems with other gear and setups.  Overa...

Advice on a streamer
Are your cds rare enough NOT to be on the streaming services?  If not, forget about them and go all in on a streamer/dac.  At your budget, streaming and ripped files will probably be indistinguishable.  I don’t have any specific product recs, thou... 
Bricasti M3 vs. Holo Audio May vs. PS Audio DS

I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
@michaelsherry - I’m about 42, definitely feel like I missed out big time!   
Subwoofers with room correction built in?
@m-db thanks for the encouragement!  Rarer on these forums than it could be. 
Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?
Oh man, physical music collections are so quaint.  Roon with Tidal and Qobuz let me explore new music EVERY DAY.  My musical knowledge is growing so quickly these days.  New, old, whatever.  Incredible sound quality if you invest in a good digital... 
So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy!
@emergingsoulOk, Mom just approved $25k or so…Your mother?  Cheap lady… 
Different subwoofer settings for different albums?
@mijostyn - for now, not doing the DIY thing, but I am curious… maybe someday@m-db - what is this software you describe?

What’s a CD? 
Different subwoofer settings for different albums?
I wish I had room for a couple of large subs.  I'm anxious to get started again with one, though.  My main speakers go down flat or so to 40hz, and I really feel there could be more "there" there on most tracks.  A recent NYC trip to some jazz clu...
