Starting Over and I need your help
@simao is right, that 6.5 watts is not doing you any favors. A decent integrated amplifier like a Yamaha A-S701 or the Schiit separates or the Schiit integrated amplifier or similar that get you at least 100 good watts. A decent DAC and maybe a su...

You can't afford a Lambo Veneno, so get this..
So weird.  Might be the only Lamborghini associated thing that won't be in the repair shop every other month.  
Those rare albums that are great on first listen.
Some of my favorites have already been listed.  I would add Dire Straits - Dire Straits Miles Davis - Kind of Blue Guy Clark - Dublin Blues John Prine - John Prine Peter Tosh - Equal Rights Run The Jewels - RTJ4  
Subwoofer for music only ?
B-stock SVS SB-1000 Pro could be a way to get two. Or a single B-stock SB-2000Pro. These new Pro versions have an app that allows you to adjust the bass using a graphic equalizer  
A great video on an artist you may not be aware of. Participants include Elvis Costello.
I saw him more than a few times at Merlefest, Magnolia fest, Suwanee, and others often with Donna The Buffalo or others. @wharfy I would add Darrell Scott and Tim O'Brien to the list also. Damn I loved Guy Clark.

Ripped all my CDs to the NAS and still listen almost exclusively to whole albums.

I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue
Exile has some great songs on it but it also has a lot of mediocre songs too.  I've always felt it was over rate.  It has twice the number of songs as Sticky Fingers but only an equal number of great songs.
