Need HDMI Cable Input: Knowledge/Comparison Assist, Please
The DH Labs 2.1 uses a mixture of copper and fiber optic conductors. So I wonder if technically it is an AOC cable, though I’ve also read great things about it. The WIreworld Stellar uses purely fiber optic conductors and is also rated 2.1.  There... 
What exactly is a speaker box sound?
Some designers remain, errr, heretical.  
Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics?
I have the Puritan 156 and the Isotek Sigmas EVO3, and while the Isotek is good, the Puritan is better (and less expensive).  
Integrated amp for Proac D2
Try the Belles Signature integrated.  Call Johnny at Audio Connection.  He knows Belles and Proac very well.

@mwatsme The recordings were made by Audiogon member @shkong78 at the Pacific Audio Show. I don't know what he used to make them.  To me the Spatials sound very good and are at the very least competitive with the Voxativs.

Magnepan LRS in the house!
RJS Accoustics makes a couple of modestly sized subwoofer units (pairs) that go especially well with LRS+. Check them out here: RJS Acoustics | For The Passion Of Sound Reproduction

Luxman, or Marantz, or Esoteric. Some of these will allow you to access their DAC (digital "in") so that you can hook a streamer up to them.  
Small Footprint SS Power Amps
AGD Tempo di Gan gets you there. If you can accommodate really small monoblocks, I endorse Van Alstine M225's.
