Thank you all for the help and advice! I will try to attend a show, if nothing else than it sounds fun.
@gdnrbob, I can travel and S. Florida and Atlanta are easy, I might have to do that.
@lalitk I researched Salk and thought about visiting them as I have family in Michigan.
I listen to all types of music, all classic rock, rock, country, blues, singer song writer, musicals, Motown, classical, jazz, and some R&B and rap and a little gospel. I really do listen to everything. I want a big sound stage with a lot of detail. I want to experience the deep bass, warm midrange, and clear vocals. I want a system that will fill the entire room and surround me. When I play Roger Waters' "Perfect Sense, Pt.1" I want it to come from everywhere. I know a lot of that depends on the room, but I want to smile when I listen to music and I want to feel the emotion.
I do have a small vinyl collection but most of my listening will be digital. I have a bluesound Node 2 streaming from Tidal as streaming from my NAS where I have a large collection, mostly FLAC. I do have a huge CD collection as well but will need to get a good player. I have an Oppo bluray drive in my family room that I love.
I am relatively new to the audiophile world. I have always loved music but never could afford anything good. That has changed and I am ready to fall in love with great sound!
Thanks again for all of the feedback!
