I have to admit that pure music listening is most frequently done in the car, but I do love to spend some time actively listening in my home theater which has both a 7.2 setup for audio/video (4kUHD disc, Oppo universal disc player, Laserdisc, Roku, S-VHS player, Internet Radio) and a 2 channel setup with analog sources (vinyl, Reel to Reel, compact cassette, and 1970s FM tuner). The 2 channel setup is a lowly Kenwood KA-3700 integrated amp (the AM/FM tuner is Kenwood KT-5500 tuner) that I just love the look of, and right now its driving a pair of ADS L400 (original wood box Braun design, not the metal ones, with Peerless tweets), but I like to change up those speakers all the time (DCM CXs, older JBLs, Celestions, B&Ws, AR, Coral, etc). I also have my collection of headphones (on ear and over ear assorted models) that I drive off the old Kenwood headphone jack. That 2 channel system feels so right and warm, and I have that whole component stack on the Left side column of the home theater. I use the tape record output of the Kenwood to run the audio over to the right sided stack (Denon AVR-X4700H with Rotel RMB-1066 amp for LCR) as an anaolg input if I ever want to blast those old analog sources into 7.2 channel upmix with my late 1990s Paradigm Monitors setup. As you can see my sources of music are all over the place, but I do have many LPs, tapes and CDs I like to listed to in this room, and sometimes I'll explore new music with streaming options (internet radio, Amazon music, Deezer Flow, Spotify) or even some from my FLAC ripped library.
With teenagers at home, they mostly tell Alexa to play stuff on the Echo Show in the kitchen (Prime Music and Spotify), and I also have an echo Dot similiarly used on our main floor connected to in-wall speakers in the great room and kitchen driven off the A and B speakers of my Onkyo Integra AVR Ive also connected Apple Airport express's on the main floor and in the basement and their bedroom systems for them to use Airplay (they have iPhones). When the kids hide from us to party in the basement, their music is over airplay to a reclaimed NAD 2200 PE (with matching NAD 1130 preamp) to a set of nice Celestion 5 (there is also an old Kenwood knockoff of the Bic 20z turntable for spinning some vinyl if they want). That setup is SOOOO clean powered, and the speakers do such good volume that we hear it thumping through the kitchen floor, and no one can believe all that sound comes from such a small setup.
Curious that I've seen Roon and even Plex endpoints mentioned in this thread a while back (and I use plex for movies), but does anyone use any LMS/Squeezebox for their local/networked/endpoints for music? I've dabbled with it, and even have some legacy Logitech hardware endpoints and LMS running on my linux NAS, but I've been interested in building a RPi squeeze endpoint after seeing info at Darko audio site.
