Simaudio 400m / 860A vs PS Audio BHK250
@j-wall I like they had effortless power - 600 watts per mono block. You won't run out of headroom. In my specific circumstance, given the speakers I have, they were a little more bass centric than what I ultimately ended up with - PS Audio's BHK ... 
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
@kota1 I have installed 4 height speakers already. I split the difference between Atmos and Auro for wall mounting height.  
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
@marshinski15 Back in the day, Pink Floyd placed speakers all over an arena or stadium, and mixed the music accordingly. Anyone who ever attended one of those shows would know how superior the sound was compared to a straight "soundstage in front ... 
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
Thanks, that's good to know. I recently bought a new Yamaha AVR (Aventage RX-A6A) and I know it does some upmixing, including to Auro 3D. I'll check it out first, but will keep your suggestion in mind.

I've owned the PS Audio M1200's - I really liked them.  
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
I listen to stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos. Done right, 5.1 and Atmos are outstanding. A whole new dimension in sound, much preferred. The only problem is a lack of quality material. Hopefully that will improve with time.  
Aurender N200
Have you tried contacting their tech support? They are pretty good and responsive.

We are in the same boat. Headphone rig in one house, 2 channel in another. Hence the delay in reporting back.  
Aurender N200
I have not had the two in the same system. The N200 is in my 2 channel system and the N150 is in my headphone rig. Now I'm curious though - sometime this week I'll try the N150 in my 2 channel system and report back.

Each storage bay will hold an SSD up to 8TB, so you'll have up to 16TB total. And I agree, removable drives are the way to go. Also, integration with Qobuz is very good. And the Conductor app works great for me on an iPad.

I've had my N200 for several months now - absolutely love it. I also own an N150, which I use in my headphone rig. The N150 is excellent as well. Aurender recommends the Samsung EVO SSD's. I don't know why anyone would use a NAS for music storage ... 
Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable
@thyname "And I do use two speaker runs from my amp to my speakers. My amp has dual speaker taps." One question and one answer follows: 1. Do you think two speaker runs are better than bi-wiring with one cable? 2. My amps are two PS Audio M12... 
Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable
Thanks to everyone who replied. The comments/suggestions were very helpful and informative. I pulled the trigger today, and purchased two full-range speaker cable pairs (1) the AQ Robin Hoods and (2) AQ Thunderbirds, a step-up from the William Tel... 
Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer
Little Feat. Not 47 albums, but including live recordings, bootlegs and studio releases, easily 30 +.Their live record "Waiting for Columbus" to me is still the best live record ever made.
