Dali Epicon 6 vs Rubicon 8
Epicon 6 all day long.  Bing a line up , the Epicons have better guts (drivers, crossovers) and a better cabinet.  Making good inert cabinets is very important to getting good sound and also expensive to construct.  The cabinets in higher end spea... 
Speakers that disappear
@willy-t wrote, "pick music that doesn't have widely panned instruments and or vocals"  Oh man you hit a nerve there for me!  This is one of my biggest peeves.  Sound engineers often try and do too much and overwide panning has ruined too many son... 
Speakers that disappear
Keep in mind that the room and how any speakers interact with the room acoustics matters almost as much as the actual speakers.    
No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy?
Sigh, it would be really helpful to get more honest reviews but I'm willing to bet anyone a dollar this doesn't change anything.  
Bluesound
I would recommend going into the Bluesound music services screen, then log out and reenter the credentials for the service that's giving you trouble.  Hope this helps, cheers.    
Adding tube sound to my SS system
I agree with @soix and others about maybe changing up the DAC.  I know this is a different direction than going down the tube path but a ladder DAC (R2R) might get you moving towards the sound you're looking for.  There are lots of options that wo... 
Toe in is crucial
Amen brother, I spent 6 months adjusting my current speakers before I was satisfied.  Everything matters but I've found that the type of tweeter matters most to get a good synergy.  Toe in defiantly matters!  
Several used sonos faber il cremonese for sale. why?
They are very nice speakers.  Just for market information, my friend is selling his SF Liliums, one step up in the line.  So just for market information, he's looking for $40K  
Subwoofer Advice
I think REL overstates what is truly needed in their room guide.  I have a HT room that is similar in size to your room.  I'm running a pair of SB4000s and it's all the bass I need.  The sound is smooth and the room is fully pressurized.  If you w... 
KEF LS60 WIRELESS + KC62 SUB OR HEGEL H390/KEF R7 META + KC62 SUB?
I would go for the latter, passive+amp.  I would hold off on adding a sub right away and wait until the speakers are fully run in and optimally positioned which takes some time.  Keep in mind that Hegel just replaced the H390 with the H400.  I did... 
Subwoofer Advice
My room is 15' wide x 22' long with the kitchen off to the right of the right speaker   That's actually a pretty big space when you include the Kitchen and vaulted ceiling which you have to account for.  You will have to think about pressurizing... 
DAC options to consider for Innuos streamer
I'm very familiar with your speakers and they a sound lovely.  I would shy away from a R2R DAC with your speakers, they might sound too dull.  
Sonys faber Amati G5
Very nice speakers!  I can say what doesn't work, the Mac MA12000 integrated was clipping driving Amatis.  
so bass traps in corners do nothing, it seems we have been fooled. or are being fooled.
OP please just stop and maybe offer something worth even thinking about.  bump
