Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
This situation has happened to me twice and both times they wanted my opinion -- neither was awful but to improve would have required better speaker placement and room treatment, both of which were not acceptable to their wives--so all i said was ...

@sls883 Ha--it's an ancient Germanic version of Roon.  Notwithstanding phish's experience and the PITA that is Roon support i still highly recommend it--as long as you don't have a complicated file structure to your library--it's the best interfac...

@phishhhhh4 Thanks--i've enjoyed as well and hopefully we've  helped @sls883 understand that there can be issues with Roon and Roon support although that's probably true of any streaming interface.

thanks for responding--certainly sounds like you have a unique situation though but it has made me curious about the nature of your library that made it unusable by Roon?

An audio component you just can't let go
All of them !  Plus their boxes stacked to the ceiling in the garage!  But if it's just the main ones i don't use any more but remain in the rack for aesthetics: Nakamichi CR4 Cassette Deck Akai GX-265 R2R deck ADC/DBX SS-525X Soundshaper Equal...

@sls883  As long as your streaming has sufficient speed and memory resources, Roon doesn't really have a "sound quality" per se unless you are using its dsp features which i don't.  More depends on whether you are using Tidal or Quobuz as they pr... 
Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing?
Lot of songs here that are great to drink to but not necessarily about drinking--i assume that's what you meant so couple more: Tom Waits--Jockey Full of Bourbon Roy Eldridge and Hot Lips Page--They Raided the Joint (i prefer Asleep at the Wheel... 
Holy Holostages!!
@jmfinney OP I am confused about a couple of things: 1. You advocate use of these for 2 ch but in your original post you talk about using 1 each on your "rear surround speakers"--sounds like you're listening in surround sound as @jolywins asked. ...
