What next part 3
I have read very mixed reviews of the Nobsound.  Has anyone had experience with Zynsonix?   
What next part 3
Yes.  I am looking for recommendations.      
streaming and audiophile stereo
One of the things I love about Audiogon is that people are so willing to share their expertise and experience.  Thank you all for your replies.  Another thing that is fun about Audiogon is that there are so many different opinions.  Given the exte...

I'm sure there a differences in the quality of the recording.  What I was trying to ask is about the streaming component itself.  Take two identical recordings, played on two systems with the same preamp, amp, cables and speakers in the same room,... 
What next? Part Two
That sounds like very knowledgeable advice.  I’ll see what I can find.  I’m near Sacramento and about two hours from San Francisco.  Any recommendations?  
What next? Part Two
The thing is, I can’t audition any of this stuff at a store near me.  And I have been out of the market for good sound for so long that I don’t know first hand what any of them sound like.  Which makes me lean toward separates so that I can replac... 
What next? Part Two
Nice - but unless I’m missing something there is no pre-out for the two active woofers.  Also, because I can’t really audition these components, I have to rely on informed opinion and I what little I know, which is that I have liked class A amps.   
What next? Part Two
I would like to stay under $3500 for components, but would spend more if necessary.   
Wharfedale Elysian 2
I too would be very interested in hearing more about the Elysian 2.  Also would be interested in where you got a discount on them - I see them at the same price everywhere, and don’t see them at all on Audiogon.    
What now?
I have ordered the GetBetterSound book, hope it may help. I have some possibilities for speakers.  One is vintage McIntosh XRT 18 - pretty amazing concept.  Another is Revel f208, which provides for some attenuation of bass if needed.  A third is ... 
What now?
You are right, of course.  I just thought I was special 😗.  Actually, I thought my space was especially problematic.  I have followed the speaker discussions in forums, and what I find is too many recommendations.  Many take no account of the spac... 
What now?
Ok, thanks all for the suggestions. Here's an update, and I hope you're still with me.  I described this bedroom/listening room.  It is about 12x15 with a 10' ceiling. The south (12') wall has a Yamaha electronic piano.  Also on this wall is my tu... 
What now?
I know.  I wish I could have kept the Type A's, but I no longer have a place for them.  But I do like the smaller home and the community.  I find that I may not have described adequately the environment in which the new speakers will have to make ... 
What now?
No, not set.  Would generally prefer to buy used from a reliable seller on Audiogon.  But am somewhat concerned about the space and the Ohm seems to be designed to work there.  I never thought about earphones ...      
What now?
Again, thanks for the comments.  I have a couple of prospects.  One is Ohm 1000 new at about $2900 with shipping, with a return option if they just don't work for me.  A second is Melin VSM-MXe with Bam in mint condition, asking $3400 and about 50...
