Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer?
@danb99  Another vote for the blusound N130 with an external LPS. Bypass the nodes internal DAC.  This combination is quite good and the BluOS app Is really good too. Good luck!  
Was 1971 the high point of popular music?
@elrod  +50!!

Help me spend $100,000 on a new system
@skyscraper  I would say to that your amplifier choice will depend alot on what speakers you decide on. I have Rockport Avior ii speakers and would highly recommend an audition. Good luck with your search and have fun!    Regards  Ron

Fun post. Rockport speakers with a Gryphon Diablo 300   
Subwoofer suggestion
@kraftwerkturbo  2 subs will help mitigate room modes in the bass region better.   
What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'?
@jjss49  +1!  
Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds
@nicktheknife  From what I saw the KAV 300i was made here and the 300 I is made in China. I’m sure it is still outstanding but I am leery about China stuff still. Happy listening!   
Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound?
@lemonhaze  I have a corner bass trap exactly like yours,  big and floor to ceiling and filled with Rockwool. I think these kind are the most effective.

Too bad Hegel and Krell are both made in China.   
Can you provide context on First Watt?
@surlydale  The Colorado audio society is having a club meeting this Friday the 17th at YG acoustics at 5:30 pm. Might be a great time to go check out their speakers and have a listen.    regards  Ron

The Boulder 866 is outstanding and well worth an audition. Good luck in your search!   
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
@drlou77  Contact Duke at audiokinesis he is very good and can answer all your questions.   
Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!
@ nicholsr They do indeed exist. Jeff at hdacoustics is very good and I highly recommend a consultation with him.
