Two subs - should they be the same size or is different ok
While setting up current system 'bout 3 or 4 years back I experimented with none, one and a pair of subs. A pair in a two channel system is a no brainer regardless of whether same brand and/or size. My "listening room" is this thing called a livin... 
For Ry Cooder and John Hiatt Fans
I've caught John Hiatt several times (solo, combo, Lyle Lovett, Sonny Landreth), and was lucky enough to catch Ry once while touring with Ricky Scaggs. Both are American treasures.

Genesis
Underrated songs in the Genesis catalog? I'll throw out three: 1) Seven Stones (Nursey Cryme) 2)Wot Gorilla? (Wind and Wuthering) 3)Many to Many (And Then There Were Three)  
Band/artist documentaries.
Festival Express 1970 is currently streaming. That's a hoot. The Bogdanovich documentary on Petty was excellent. Loved Ken Burns' "Country Music" Beware of Mr. Baker is a must.  
New preamplifier - Backert Rhumba Extreme, Aesthetix Calypso Signature, Ayre KX5 Twenty

Who can forget those Michelob commercials? lol...Gabriel fans should check out that live 4 CD box set. Full Lamb set but best part is live SEBP.  
FM radio reception
Generally a 40-45 mi radius'

Backart Labs Rhumba Extreme version 1.4 Linestage Tubed Preamplifier
I own a Rhumba Extreme 1.3 and ran it for a few years with a Pass XA30.8 which I still have. These fed into a pair of Audio Note AN-K spe speakers which some would argue are too small for 12x26 room. The room is sectioned with a sofa and I sit off... 
Big Jazz Band Music with Great Sound
A couple titles from the mid-90's you might like: 1) "Brian Setzer Orchestra" and 2) "GRP All-Star Big Band."
