Yamaha NS 5000
yzsantabarbara Are you on our discord? If not come on by and have a chat with us. Same website has the link that I mentioned.As for 9H vs NS5000, thats a tough one. The NS5000 is of course much cheaper and has a super impressive soundstage.. but... 
Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers?

High value, giant killer speakers?
@helomech How do you like bigger Mags? 3.7i or 20.7 ?@tweak1  I can get a EP 2.8 for about $3k. I heard the 4.8 and did enjoy them.

Amazing suggestions, keep them coming. 
Torus RM20 / BIT20 vs Furman IT reference 20i
Is the notion that the furman is balanced power and the Torus isnt play into this comparison at all ? Also how would these compare to a Power plant 12 or 15? 
Torus RM20 / BIT20 vs Furman IT reference 20i
Fair enough. Something draws me to it. Also I like that Bryston has its own branded version... which maybe will come with their super long warranty? 
Network streamer recommendation without a dac/amp (pure streamer), under $4k
@ajlm I think its because different streamers (like different dacs or amps) have different levels of quality and lead to different sonic performance. Of course this may be false and I haven't verified this myself since I have only heard 1 streamer... 
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II
Any more thoughts? 
15 AMP or 20 AMP Power Conditioner.
