Very happy with my pair of AVI ADM9.1s since 2009.

Spotify Connect through the TV and a Sony BDP-S360 as a disc spinner.

I must say though that I recently started to measure and EQ the speakers (plus the room). This made me understand they are not as neutral as I used to imagine. Fixing this makes them sound so much nicer that I now find myself looking for elegant ways to add DSP to my system. Probably one step less minimalistic but should still be manageable.
 
Despite having 2 reasonably high end systems, Lounge and Home Office, I find myself doing most of my listening on a cheap wireless speaker, streaming my library and radio from a laptop.


80w, 24/192 over wifi, gapless. Surprisingly good.
 
I've got the LS50WII and a pair of KC62 subs hooked up to my TV and a turntable (I mostly stream), and am VERY happy. If I were buying today, I would have a serious look at the LS60W, and prepare for some painful credit card debt. If I win the lottery, I might have to at least listen to the YG Vantage Live. It's like the LS60W, but it lacks HDMI, and has a built-in phone stage. Oh, it also costs 7 times as much. Actually, to me, a company like YG getting into this space is further proof that this is where home audio is heading.
