Hi all and sorry I haven't chimed in with some answers to your questions earlier. First I just want to say how much I appreciate all the advice. I need to absorb much of this before I take my next step. It is a holliday weekend so I will reach out to a few of you who offered later.
I picked my components without professional consultation "My mistake" That said I quite like everything I picked even if they aren't an ideal match. Like many of you said its a learning curve and I'm enjoying going down or up the rabbit hole!
I live in Los Angeles so there are some good dealers to audition and consult with. I have visited one in DTLA that is quite well known, that's where I was politely informed by the owner that my matching was not ideal. FYI he did not attempt to sell me anything. Also listened to some Harbeths and and Devores and developed an itch immediately. I'm patient so I will take my time with this.
FYI I have done nothing yet to treat the room. I live in a 900 square condo. So this sounds like a good place to start. Also have nt engaged the Dirac room correction. I was quite interested in this but have also read mixed reviews about it. Happy holidays to all and thank you.
