| Soundstage Where are the columns that they prevent you from pulling the speakers out further? I can’t picture what you’re talking about. | |
| Streaming SiriusXM is awful Get Qobuz. | |
| Center Channel Speaker Conundrum It sounds like you have “Phantom Center” configured somewhere, maybe specific to DD+. That’s all I got, but I’m sure someone more familiar with your Marantz will chime in here. Best of luck with this. | |
| Vimberg Mino D - first impressions 26k for a bookshelf with diamond tweeter is absurd. Yeah, let’s not even consider how they’re built or how they sound — not meaningful at all. In fact, let’s not even bother listening to them to make judgement. Price is king!!! | |
| Where is the weakest link? no one has created a nice high end stereo tube fit that is convenient and is a true ht bypass.I believe Rogue, VAC, and Backert make tube pres that may work in bypass mode without tubes glowing so might be worth checking out. Anyway, in my system ... | |

| piano works (concerto/jazz) speakers ATC/Proac/JMR/Vienna Acoustic/B&W ATC won’t be great at low volumes IME. ProAc would be good, or even the new LSA-10s would be great and you can try them at home. Best of luck. | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Do you eat blindfolded? | |
| Tidal Hi Fi + Maybe it gets rid of MQA, heh heh. Do whatever it takes to switch to Qobuz, and there are programs that can help you transfer your playlists. The Emperor’s new clothes are off with regard to the MQA scam, so just consider yourself lucky you now ... | |
| Preamps opinion Really depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for. | |
| Looking for Focal Stella amplifier suggestions Quicksilver Headphone Amp, but you’d have to work with a dealer (or the company) to see about a home trial. Best of luck. |
