Yamaha+PreAmp or Rotel RA1572
Years ago I had the Rotel RC1090 and I can say, for a factory integrated phono stage, it's the best I had heard.  So between your choices, my vote is for the Rotel  
Is My 7 Year Old Aires G1 Still Relevant?
I agree with the comment above. That upgrade is really easy and will breathe some new life into your G1. Keep in mind that (in my opinion) you'll have to spend a bit to beat what you already have. I compared the rose 150 to my modded G1 and I ende...

@johnnotkathi  Well the brands we mentioned should do the trick so good luck on your search!  
Hafler Series Trans Nova 9505 vs Yamaha M80 Power Amps
I had a newer Transnova running the bass panel of my Maggie MGIIIa and it did a great job with that. Depending if you are open to other suggestions or not, there are a lot of amps in that price range that would also work. Example - Adcom & Rot... 
Getting 4K with Classe SSP-800

Diamond vs Aluminum tweeters for B&W 800 series
@elliottbnewcombjr  The B&W diamond tweeter is fragile material that can literally shatter if something hits it unlike a aluminum dome that will dent.

Looking for recommendations for outdoor speakers
@davetheoilguy  That sounds like a really nice patio area! I think the Ambisonic speakers will do a really good job to cover that big of a space. Hopefully there's a dealer near you so they can come out to take a closer look and make their recomm... 
Looking for recommendations for outdoor speakers
@davetheoilguy  Sorry, I guess I need to be more specific. Where are the poles going? Out in the yard facing the listening area? Flanking the Patio? How close to your listening area? How much area are you wanting to cover?   Consider the on wal...

Need Recommendation for Coffee Shop
I'd suggest a pair of Sonos Era300s and call it done. They sound pretty good, streams every service and you'll be under your budget.  
Connecting stereo to outdoor speakers
Well, this question is very broad and without seeing the area I'll simply give you some generalities. Your simplest solution is to buy a couple of outdoor rated bluetooth speakers and create a stereo pair. There are several companies to choose fr... 
Downsizing from tower to bookshelf
@vette5451  I'll be placing my PS Audio FR5s up for sale this weekend if you're interested  
Matching a amplifier to speakers
@twangy57  I would highly suggest the Anthem STR Power Amp. It'll power any speaker you hook to it (see reviews with measurements and you'll see it's actual power output), looks awesome with the meters (which you can turn off if you don't like th...
