Is blasphemous Music ok?
Organised religion is the single worst thing in the history of the world.  We all wish Mr Rushdie a return to good health. +1 Re: the history of the blues.... https://www.aaihs.org/the-historical-roots-of-blues-music/    
Politics and Music
With your opinion you will educate us on what he Trump did to be called a traitor ? Uhhh....................how about a very blatant, visible, attempted coup to steal the election and thwart the will of We, The People because his ego is so incr... 
What are we objectivists missing?
Perhaps everything we hear CAN be measured, but - clearly - not everything measured can be heard. Our individual ears, and brains, and personal listening spaces (including gear) are all............individual.  Simply put, we don't hear things the... 
What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean?

Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
One Rythmik F12G in between Maggie MMGs.  I recently added a small Miller & Kreisel K-9 in the corner opposite the Rythmik just to flesh out the sound throughout the room (it has one side open to the kitchen/dining room).   Only adjustment was... 
Best progressive rock album side
Drop the lifeline, step off the edge..... Godley & Creme's "Consequences".  Three LPs, take your pick of any side as far as "best".  Best listened to through good 'phones.  
Most Realistic Recordings
+1 for "Jazz At The Pawnshop".  A truly outstanding reference recording that is surely one of the best live music recordings ever.  If you want to know if your system can drop a vibraphone or clarinet into your listening room right in front of you... 
Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
And then, of course, there exists the prospect of overthinking things until.....  
Upgrade path question with $2k to spend
I, too, have a blended system, but my AVR is an older Denon AVR-X4000 (which was their flagship AVR at the time).  The important thing is that your Yamaha appears to have pre-outs.  I run my Denon pre-outs through a Parasound P5 preamp then to a B... 
The magic of outdoor listening
*simply DYING to hear a definition of "boomer rock".......*  
Sad to say I need a new amp…
FWIW, I'm still running my B&K EX-442 Sonata into Maggies and consider it anything BUT a "beater", and it's older than the ST3030.  350 wpc/4 ohm and high current (75 amp p-p), it's a beautiful-sounding amp and I feel zero need to replace or "... 
Looking for Blues with High Fidelity
+1 for ANY Robben Ford. +1 for "Dot.com Blues". +1 for Gary Moore  I'd thrown in a suggestion for Coco Montoya (used to play drums for Albert Collins then went on to play guitar for John Mayall after being taught by Collins....). I'd further t... 
Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas?
I have a B&K EX-442 Sonata (it's "442", not "440", btw) running from a Parasound P5 preamp into a pair of Maggie MMGs (precursor to the LRS).  My system sounds outstanding (I run CDs through either a Denon DVD-2900 or OPPO BDP-95) both connect...
