This is the kind of information we can all use! Straight from the expert, not some meta-posters taking a wild guess!

I love S-works turbos for comfort and speed, but they are not the most durable. Of course with Specialized there is an S-works tax, but usually this time of year they do a BOGO sale. You can't beat Gatorskins for durability but they are hard as a rock IMO. I would like to check out Pirelli tires, perhaps this summer. The Michelins you are looking at may be a good compromise. Let us know what you end up with and your opinion of them. Good Luck and stay safe out there!

ABX is how I would handle it, but YMMV.

I'm curious where you bought from. If you are in Roscoe, I live 15-20 minutes from you; I'm North of Belvidere

I wrote "not that much more difficult". IMO it's worth the extra effort, but I defer to you, you're the tapped horn expert. I've only built 1. I don't know why I bother offering my opinion anywhere on the internet anymore. This forum, like so many others are so frustrating to me lately. I hate the internet, I think I need a break!

If you don't already have the drivers, I would be considering tapped horn subwoofers. You are allocating a large space for them to occupy already. You will get a lot more bang for your buck with tapped horn, and the builds are not that much more difficult.

I've been subscribed to his You Tube channel for a while. He has some interesting perspective and rants. I enjoy listening to the opinion of many to help form my own.

Amazon HD music currently works with Android Auto, I use it all the time in the car. I've been using it for several years now, and once the HD version was available I upgraded right away. I search by artist all the time, and have never had a problem finding an entire discography. Usually there are multiple versions of popular albums with Ultra HD tracks playing up to 24 bit / 96kHz Flac files. I use the desktop app at work and feed USB out from my PC into my DAC and then to head phone amp. Phone app will not control desktop app like Spotify though.

I use Amazon HD also and I'm very happy with it. There is a fair amount of exclusive content. I like having several versions of my favorite albums available. Bonus content, demos, etc. The user interface isn't flashy, but I have yet to be disappointed with the available content.

Good choice on the B-2 network. IMO it is the best Klipsch designed network for the Cornwall 1. Good choice going with Crites as well; you won't be disappointed!

I'm looking forward to your pics. Your veneer work is always top notch!

Are you using the HDMI ARC(Auto Return Channel) input on your TV? If you are then it's intended the the Klipsch remote will control some TV functions. If you use a different input/ output like optical, then it should not be an issue. Still, IR or RF interference is possible.

I would buy a couple of these desiccant cans to throw in storage with the speakers. I use one like this in my safe and was amazed at how much moisture it absorbs. . https://www.amazon.com/Lockdown-Silica-Gel-750-grams/dp/B004QUIWAA/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&aaxitk=.-SZMaUTudKY1x57IhsgGw&hsa_cr_id=2988231290201&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_0

My Costco has that Dyson unit on sale for $350 (from $500). I thought about it, but passed because we had recently bought 2 cheaper units to cover our home. I've always had good luck with Dyson products.
