The best reference is live music
I just want the songs I loved growing up to sound great on my system. Studio recordings almost always sound better than live music   
New Integrated amp recommendation
@jwfitzdo  Avoid the tariffs and check out the superb boulder 866. Good luck!  
Luxman L-550ax
@enobenetto  A 15’x20’ room is plenty big enough for floorstanders. No need to limit yourself to only bookshelf speakers   
Subs with focal katna 3s
@paliden  We have REL S510s with our Kanta 3s in an open floor plan family room. They are definitely worth it. If your floor is a suspended wood floor you will need some isolation under all speakers. Good luck !  
How do I know if I need a sub woofer?
The room will have a big influence on wether you need subs or not.   
Your favorite obscure song
I’m getting f****** sick of those pop up ads!    My song is when the lights go down by Prince.   
Best amp for Sonus Faber
@stephenwerner  Sonus Fabre are considered a warmer speaker so I’ll bet a top neutral amp would pair well. The Boulder 866 is exceptional. Good luck in your search !   
Single driver full range speakers
@arafiq  It’s great that your speakers are fantastic without subs. You hear a lot how hard they can be to integrate. Would love for there to be a dealer here in Colorado to hear them.    Yes I do still have my Avior ii’s. I auditioned Wilson Sas... 
Single driver full range speakers
@devinplombier  nice looking speakers !   
Single driver full range speakers
@devinplombier  My tastes in music are quite wide as well and I definitely feel a single driver wouldn’t work for me. Very curious what 4 way 7 driver speakers you have. My amp will hit 750 wpc at 2ohms.   
Single driver full range speakers
@arafiq  Those are certainly are interesting looking and I would like to hear them but it looks like they would still need subs only going down to 40 hz   
Single driver full range speakers
I would say there is zero chance a single driver speaker can out perform a quality 3 way. See @atmasphere post above.   
Linear power supply
Teddy pardo!  
My last rodeo
@tburdwin  What about the room it will be in? More important than any one component. Good luck !   
You are there vs. They are there
The room will be a big factor in which one you get
