ADVICE PLEASE


Novice guy here so be Nice.

I recently came across a brand new in a box Yamaha Rx-V861 that my brother purchased some time ago. He never got around to even opening the box and now its mine.  I purchased a pair of B&W tower speakers 600 series and I need advice on speaker cable and anything else that you feel I should add?  My original plan was a budget of $3000, I got the receiver for free and spent $1800.00 on the speakers.  Thoughts?  Used amp? Cd player?  What say you?

Also- I found the addition of subwoofers, and then the upgrading of those subwoofers (SVS PB 1000 pair to a pair of JL AUDIO fathom f212v2 ) did more than upgrading my oppo, improving cables or power cords. But it’s all about what you like - I like feeling the music and filling out the bottom end and the first time I fired up the fathoms the smile wouldn’t leave my face. And it’s still there.  
I second room acoustic treatment. I’ve spent a ton on really good equipment and I’ve more or less decided to not buy any more equipment until I get my room figured out. Thankfully I bought everything with my future room size in mind which will basically double from 16x17 to 16x33. So just have to get that project started up....
