Feel like I'm outta my mind....
The Polk R700 is very good for the price. If you can stretch the budget further, about 2x more. You'll find exactly what you're looking for with the Arendal 1723 THX It's one of those rare speakers that really make all their owners literally grin... 
Speaker recommendations :-)
I’m gonna shoot out some well-respected speakers in the 20-30k range. Kef Blade Meta Magnepan 20.7 PS audio FR30 There's also the new, gorgeous looking Sonus Faber too.  
Compact Floor-standing Speaker Recommendations under $4k
#1 fix for bright speakers is to pair it with an appropriate tube amp. It will elevate both components to another level.  If you want a compact speaker that's more full range and of very high quality, the Philharmonic BMR bookies should be on you... 
Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?
@waytoomuchstuff haha TY and I agree with you. Things like this bring out the kids in us. Also I'm like you. I turn on some universe stuffs and I fall asleep before I even try to fall asleep. My go-to was Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey with Neil Deg...

@mbmi  beautiful indeed. @baclagg  YIKES! It's always the worst to wait all day on delivery day and get nothing. I share your pain.

@tump350 Thanks man. @agisthos Yea I have the matching amp. The picture a little above your post is that amp. Be wary the C1 is its own integrated thing and doesn’t necessarily benefit from a BMC dac, All other BMC amps do. About your pre-amp qu...

@tump350 Ah, another ultra owner. We are a rare breed =) I really like it too. I am planning to exploit its fabulous headphone output and maximize my purchase *insert evil laugh* Muahahahaha. I have a few questions and will PM you in a minute, h...

@clearthinker I don’t intend to debate what you are saying. But what you are saying doesn’t apply to my specific situation. The amp I have and the DAC I bought are meant to go together. You can say it was "mandatory" to buy the dac. There’s an opt...

@toro3 Yea it is a beautiful piece. But I don’t agree with some of the design language and there are quite a few things I would change about it. Like too many buttons on the beautiful frontplate. Nothing I’d need to press that I can’t do with the ...

@pdreher haha me exact same.   
What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo?
I suspect something that Steve Hoffman said. Here I'll link it below. Something about 0:27. To this day I still have no freaking clue what he's talking about.  https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/test-the-midrange-purity-of-your-system-and-or-... 
Do You Clean Your Ears?
Yea you don't wanna use any sort of Q-tip to clean your ears frequently. I actually have a problem with both of my ears as I type this, Left is minor, Right is major. I suspect that there's some sort of wax buildup. When people talk loud or kids y... 
Moved Audio Quest cable to my DAC. WOW
My very 1st power cable experience a month ago is the same as yours. Plugged it into the amp first.... "okay". Plugged it into the dac simply because I was curious. WOW. I’ve switched back and forth with the only 1 upgraded power cable that I’ve ...

Aw shucks. I was willing to put up a good cage fight for your entertainment to get it.
