My experience with The Music Room
I have placed multiple purchases with TMR and everything went smooth.  Great prices and wonderful packaging.  
Opinions about Newvelle Records pressing quality?
Over the last couple years when they had a sale on single discs, I bought a few over a period of time.  I returned 2, hassle free by the way, since they were terribly warped.    
Best speakers for a small room
Magico A1.  
Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD
Let me know if you buy them.  I would be interested if you find them as great as I do....or you can hate me for the recommendation.

My room size is 16.5 ft. x 12 ft.  The ceiling slopes from 8 ft. to 10 ft.  The A5 are powered by PS Audio BHK 300 watt mono blocks.  For me, this seems to be more than enough power.  I have the MAC 122 av controller being used as my pre.  They ar...

I just bought the A5 about a month ago.  Best speaker I ever owned.  Coming off the PSB T3.  Are they pretty.  Not really, but they are physically unobtrusive and sonically spectacular.  
Putting your components inbetween your speakers.
According to Jim Smith , the author of the book, Get Better Sound, he states that you should not place your gear between your speakers.  It will have a negative affect on imagining.  FYI. 
Internet radio, streaming, and CD player.
Bluesound.  I think this fits your needs. 
Speaker recommendation for mc452 and C2600
I have the 425 driving PSB T-3.  I love it.  Unfortunately the T-3 are ported.  They are approximately 27 inches from the back wall.  
Audioquest Niagara 5000 or 7000
The honest answer is ........no. I would not perceive a major difference.  Subtle. 
Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own).
About a year ago I purchased the PSB T-3.  I just love them.  Very smooth, non-fatiguing, detailed.  I could listen to them all day. 
Audioquest Niagara 5000 or 7000
Well, I bought the 5000 and hooked it up on Friday.  It has improved my system.  Bass is more authoritative.  Vocals more distinct and forward.  Never thought that I would say this, but there is more "air" around the instruments.  Noticeable audio...

jafant I just had a dedicated 20 amp line installed with an Audioquest NRG outlet. 
Audioquest Niagara 5000 or 7000
I live in a suburb of Chicago.  When I am at the manufacturer's website I am lead to believe, that regardless of the ac noise, these to units would impart a sonic improvement to my equipment.  I read a favorable review in a print mag about 2-3 mon... 
Top PSB speakers .
I have a pair and I find them to be just so smooth.  I can listen to them all day.  Not fatiguing one bit. Detailed, maybe a bit on the warm side. Extremelytight bass. Highly recommended.  The best speakers I have ever owned.  These replaced Revel...
