👍👍👍 VHAudio 
If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly
Kind of new to the streaming thing.  How might this be different from/superior to using the optical input from a Sonos Connect to your system? Just the quality of the hardware or is there more? 
SOTA Total Eclipse Package
http://vpiforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14253&start=40I replaced my HW-19 MKIV motor with the Total Eclipse Package but the motor is mounted on the base.  Well worth the effort and $$ and the folks at SOTA are great. Good luck!

Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents?
First "high end" system had Large Advents driven by Crown preamp/amp in college.  Upgraded to stacked Advents shortly after graduation.  A few years later gutted them and converted into tri-amped speakers with all-new drivers. Young and stupid... 
Recomend Some Albums Recorded with True Imaging.

Wilson Benesch Vectors.  New for around $15k but have seen them used for under 8. Small footprint and relatively short height with decent efficiency (89 dB). Play incredibly loudly with surprising bass extension considering their size.  The sound ... 
Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker?
I have a pair of Wilson Benesch Vectors. My understanding of their 2.5 way system is 500hz for the woofer, 5khz for the tweeter, and a full range  “midrange”. Seems to work well.  
What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago?
VPI HW-19 MK IV with Eminent Technology II tonearm and Monster Cable Sigma Genesis 2000 cartridge, resting on a Black Diamond Racing The Shelf for the Source on a five shelf SolidSteel rack. Money very well spent 20 years ago.  Also have Infinity ...

Devialet LE 200?  Less than $4k used.
