Home Theater Speakers exclusively
Just received my custom in wall DI's from Eric.  They are 57"h x 12"D x 12"W.  The subwoofers are crazy big.  Two double 15" subs.  Then two atmos speakers for the ceiling.  If you give Eric the dimensions that you want to work with he can create ...

Qobuz vs Tidal
I agree Ozzy, I love the Lumin app but as you stated it adds your latest titles to the left side of the page.  Sometimes, I go in and delete titles I no longer want to play.  It is easier than having to keep searching for them on Tidal.  I wonder ... 
What integrated would you recommend for summer amp?
Do your self a favor and call Dave Thomson at Raven Audio in Texas. Even if you don't buy a Raven integrated he is a wealth of knowledge plus they offer a money back guarantee.  What have you got to lose?  I have owned Raven ----just an outstandin... 
Qobuz vs Tidal
Thanks for the responses so far.  As for my medical condition, I had a stroke in the optical nerve in the right eye.  This same thing happened to me 18 years ago in the left eye.  It is not correctible.  Trust me I have asked every eye doc appoint...

Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000.
RIAA - I owned the Raven Reflection MK2.  You should love it.  I ended up putting in KT 150's as my power source and kicked up my wpc to around 63.  I also did a lot of tube swapping which was fun.  If you got 50% off what a deal.  Congrats on you... 
Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?)
Ok, great topic and timely for me.  I am building a theater room as we speak and will stream everything from Netflix, Showtime, HBO, Amazon Prime.  I will have a 4K projector either JVC 9 series or Sony.  I am Apple based.  What are the suggestion...

Like Millercarbon, I am a big Raven Audio fan.  Please check out their website and then call Dave Thomson.  He is a wealth of audio information and he has some of the best tubes in the world bar none.  There is also an integrated amp in various pr... 
How many people here generally buy used?
Even though I try to buy used, I mostly buy new.  I would be more apt to buy used speakers and amplifiers as I don't think the technology has changed that much.  The problem is what I am interested in generally does not come up in the used market.... 
Best bourbon?
Jefferson Ocean Reserve Cast / Blanton Gold 
Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair
I personally owned the Wilson Audio Duette 2's with a Raven Reflection MK2 integrated tube amp. Simply put outstanding sound.  You can get the Duette 2's used for 10k.  Sunny's audio in California has a demo pair available. 
Time for the Dynaco to go, Affordable Integrated or Separates for Wilson's Under $2.5K?
Johnwahl --- speakers at $3K to fill your room.  How about PureAudioProject?    If you want big sound - Tekton. 
Wilson Audio for a 1600 sq ft space
For your room if you can get the Alexx for the same price as X2, go with the best.  When making a purchase like that you really need to compare the speakers side by side and make your own judgement.  By the way, I also have a Lumin X-1 DAC / Strea...
