Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality.
I appreciate all the recommendations and thoughts, however I think I’m going to stay with a one box solution and I’m leaning toward the hifi rose 150b. Everything I read is positive about this unit and it also has a dac out so if the future I coul... 
Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality.
So I think I’m going to have to up my budget to get what I want. I’ve been searching different streamer/dacs tonight and finding 3 at around 5k that all look interesting. The HiFi Rose 150 b, the Lumin T2, and the CaryDMS 650. Everyone of these ch... 
Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality.
Calvin, your set up looks good to me and would be right at my budget or a little over. Everyone is pretty much a Quboz fan instead of Tidal, is there really that much difference? It’s easy to change. I’ve also heard good things about Amazon’s Prim... 
Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality.
Thanks to everyone. I’m seeing some thoughts that a dedicated streamer would be better than my iPad. Soix your suggestions sound good and might be close to my budget. Mapman it’s hard to know what recordings are what. I’ve seen some things that th... 
Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality.
Ghd, your system, I’m sure is amazing, however I’m not going to spend that kind of money. My whole system is only about 30k retail. I’m really looking for something that would be a noticeable improvement from the dac in my c47 and the iPad. I’ve l...

Again I will recommend the Aerial 7T’s. Stereophile A rated speakers. Not many in this price range are. These may be harder to find but worth it. Google the speakers and you will find the Stereophile review. In my view these would check all your b...

I was looking for speakers a couple of years ago in that same general price range and auditioned several including Focals and Sonus Fabers . My favorites fit the description of what you’re looking for. Aerial 7t’s are just sublime. I have since pu... 
What's your favorite boutique speaker maker
Aerial Acoustics is a great speaker maker! 
I’m looking to upgrade my Magnum Dynalab MD106T???
Check out FM Tuner info for a great source. A lot of the vintage tuners are very nice. I have a Mac mr74, a Kenwood KT8300, and a Pioneer TX 9500 2, that all are great. All have been restored to a high level and are 5 or 6 gang front ends. All tun... 
Want to setup basic home audio system
If it were me; I would try and find a set of ADS L710 speakers in nice shape and pair them with a modern integrated amp with built in dac. Maybe a Yamaha or Cambridge or something similar. Find a nice cheap tuner if you listen to radio and it will... 
~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought
I’ll second the Aerial 7t’s. Great sound and beautiful too.

Jacobsen, I do own Aerial 7t’s. I don’t have as much experience as a lot of other folks on this site, but I did audition several speakers in the 6-10k price range and liked the Aerials the best. They are also easy on the eyes. 
Spikes or rubber feet.
I have Aerial 7t’s. When I first got my speakers home I called Aerial and talked to Michael Kelly about this very issue. He recommended that I use the spikes since my floor was not a slab but a floor with joists over a basement. Once I found a goo... 
purchasing US made speakers
The Aerial 7 t’s are outstanding. 
I am looking for help selecting an amplifier to match my Revel F228Be speakers.
Analysis plus oval 9 speaker cables are a great bargain.
