Integrated amp + DAC + room correction all-in-one for Nola Boxer 1 + REL R328 sub
The Lyngdorf 2170 just seems to do everything you're looking for.  I'd save my sheckles and/or just wait for one to hit your price threshold.  Seems like the perfect solution for your situation.  
Floor Speakers Needed after "Remodel"
Yeah, you have a pretty good-sized room and a fairly low-powered AVR -- not an optimal starting point and will limit your speaker choices, especially at your price point.  Case in point, although all very good speakers I wouldn't recommend any of ... 
Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers
Cool.  By all accounts you bought some great speakers.  Keep the faith -- millennials be damned.  
Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers
IME, 25 year olds barely know where their wieners are much less anything else.  My speakers are older than him, and they sounded like crap when I first got them to the point that I almost returned them.  My speakers are 2-way towers and took about... 
~$4,000 home theater + music system?
A couple years ago my brother asked me a similar question. Given his limited budget and inability to hear many systems in his area, I recommended he try some speakers from Aperion since they get very good reviews and offer a 60-day return policy. ... 
How can Wilson Audio speakers sound that good if they are using OEM drivers?
Sometimes it's better to not think so much about how a speaker is made but rather to just enjoy it if you like it.  Kind of like tacos...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JuBGPylPVIU 
Joseph Audio dealers
I'm a huge JA fan, but I have never understood why there is no dealer list posted on their website.  Several times I've had to try Google searches for dealers when trying to respond to a post here, and I find it very annoying.  Also, it appears th... 
Stereolab Digit 75 SPDIF (Black Cat
I also have the Stereovox XV2, and it is a very detailed and spacious sounding digital cable.  But I have to say that my Apogee Wyde Eye cable spends more time in my system.  It is still plenty detailed while sounding.more organic and tonally more... 
Suggestions for Full Range Speakers up to 10K
The OP's height limit was about 41".  Snell A7 not so much.  
Suggestions for Full Range Speakers up to 10K
There's a nice pair of Joseph Audio RM33LEs for sale on eBay for $5500 that meet your size requirements and go down to 28Hz.  This model uses the same tweeter from their flagship Pearl speakers.  There's also a pair of Silverline Bolero Supremes f... 
Where do I go from here?
Crap. I saw this review for the Hegel H160 from Enjoy the Music and meant to post but just didn’t get around to it. It happened to compare the H160 to the A21 so thought it would be particularly interesting for this thread. I just flat out disagre... 
Amplifier for home stereo dedicated to lossless quality music
The Outlaw RR2160 receiver does pretty much everything you need (including a 24/192 DAC), and from all accounts I’ve seen from customers here it sounds good too. $799 on outlawaudio.com.  
Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under
FYI, ATC makes both active and passive speakers, and as your amps have plenty of juice to drive their passive speakers I'd still highly recommend you go give them a listen given what you're looking for.  
Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under
+2 ATC.  Definitely not bloated bass, and midrange dynamics and power that are perfectly suited to what you're looking for.  And with your electronics I don't think harsh sound is a concern.  Think of your 70s speakers taken to much higher levels ... 
Interconnects and non-believers
I don't see why Elizabeth's post was inaccurate at all.  Seems spot on to me.  With such a fluid and relatively low risk used cable market it almost seems silly to buy new cables today, although I'm sure glad people do!
