Dreamin' of streamin'
Amazon, iTunes and Sirius on one device? They don't play well together.  None of them sound as good as Qobuz. Especially on a dedicated device.  Lose the PC for HiFi play.  
Give 'Ambrosia' another listen
The first LP was engineered by Alan Parsons, no doubt using experience gleaned from The Beatles and Pink Floyd. Nominated for best engineered.    
Too powerful of an amp!?
That's like too much HP under the hood. Only if you can't handle it.  
Inexpensive streaming amplifier
Powernode.  
Minimum Sound Bar Height
At mantle height angle the speakers down, unless you are doing stand up movie watching.  
Ripping CD's to SSD?
They are not iTune apps, they are computer programs, "better" than iTunes. The external drive only works when it’s told to and Aiurrender does not posses this skill set. If a streamer is not configured as a ripper you pretty much have to rip into... 
Recommendations for digital recording device?
Tascam DSDï  
Replace HDD in Sony HAP Z1ES with an SSD...but wait, there is more!
Macrium Reflect will clone anything. I've been using it for years.  
So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu?
I like lychee gummies.  
a subwoofer choise - dual 8" SVS or one off-brand 15"
I like the SVS.  It EQs to 23 Hz. Much easier to tune to the room with the app    
Subwoofer
You can usually make a single sub sound great in one listening position. Not a problem. Multi sub systems smooth out room nodes so that bass can sound even handed and non booomy in more locations. That said I’ve EQ’d bookshelves enough that I li... 
Are There Any Stereo Bluetooth Speakers?
Monoprice 100s play in stereo and if you power up a second unit (in BT streaming mode) they split into 2 discrete channels, no clumsy app needed. If I put one in the back pocket of a beach chair the effect approaches headphones.  
Anyone else feel like they are “transported” INTO the music
You inspired me to transport myself over to my player and spin a well recorded favorite.  
Benchmark AHB2 or Class D (GaN FET)
I heard it pushing Martin Logan panels hard. Not impressed. The room was probably a factor but I get better sound at home with ICEpower driving Acoustats. Not the last time that dopes think demo means LOUD. The amp seemed to square it off.  
Level adjusting speaker drivers
Do you desire a loudness function? You need to EQ.
