Thanks for the replies. And as you folks expected, there's no issue with volume - the golds are plenty loud. But as I'm sure you can imagine, just cranking the volume of speakers that are 20' or 30' away (and not necessarily symmetrical to your position) doesn't deliver the same quality of sound as a pair sitting right in front of you, pointed at your head.
Plus, I just like the way most of my speakers sound. I've really wanted to try the combination of phantoms + others, but it sounds like the delay issue is going to prevent that. I could still set everything up in an either/or configuration, though.
Roon looks like an interesting product. Though my media server runs linux, so I'd have to dedicate another always-on machine just for Roon. Maybe when my current laptop retires.
