System assessment...

Congratulations on retirement! I’m in the same situation as you, and have been upgrading after many years of stasis in my system. I addressed high end hardness with replacing speakers and my preamp. Building upon excellent advice here, I have learned the most from attending multi day audio shows EVERY DAY (make a mini vacation of it!). Going every day reduces the anxiety of rushing room to room, and allows for more serendipity and reduces audio fatigue. My earlier experience in this method allowed me to zero in on speakers that sounded naturally extended in the highs but did not have a hot and hard high end. They ended up being a new version of speakers that I already owned. 
I especially agree with the comments regarding streaming. My musical horizons have expanded enormously through streaming, as it is so easy to explore. How else would I have learned about such wonderful bands as The String Cheese Incident or learned about the Grateful Dead’s Betty Boards?
 

Back in the day, I did run a tube pre and SS amp, I agree, likely the best balance of musicality.

Thanks to all. I believe my take away here is to get out of the house and visit Minneapolis and or Chicago. Recommendions for reputable shops?

retired two years ago myself best thing I ever did, but I was surprised how little I listen to my system since I retired moved from New Jersey to North Carolina and most of the time when I’m sitting down to relax or have a cocktail, I sit outside in our screened patio. The weather is so much nicer down here all year that I spend more time outside than inside when I retired I figured I’d listen to probably every album I have. I think I’ve listened to about three albums since I’ve retired mostly stream when I do listen to my system.

 You have a great integrated amp I have the Pallini and an atlas

so before you change anything sit down and think about your activities when you retire how much you’re gonna be listening to your system like I said, I thought I’d be listening a lot but hardly listen to my system. I still listen to music, but it’s usually on a pair of  bluetooth speakers out in my screened patio and unfortunately, my Vanderteen Quattro’s aren’t waterproof or otherwise I’d move them out there.

enjoy your retirement

Those Focals were efficient enough to use Tubes for both Pre and Amp which is what I think would give you a preferred sound.

Never heard them, I wondered why you thought the Focals pair of 10" drivers too big for your room, had a quick learn. Perhaps this explains it: "the Powerflow double port system, which greatly enhances the performance of the bass. "

My room is similar 14 x 24 and I have a pair of 3 ways with 15" woofers, horn mid, horn tweet. Previously used JSE Model II’s with a 12" and 10" with Richard Modafferi’s patented Phase Shift Bass as well as his Infinite Slope Crossover which Joseph Audio still uses to great respect. He gets both extension out of the 12 and 10 together, and tames them, Focal doesn’t tame them, and adds additional untamable port output

Electrovoice Engineers helped me design my enclosures (drivers were originally in a Fisher President II Console), they have a rear port that is closed here, I used them open in prior location with an open room behind the speakers.

I vary the toe-in depending if one centered listener or two off-center listeners

Toe In Alternates

I bet JSE Model II’s would sound awesome in your space.

My friend has my Models II’s, they still sound awesome, I just missed my inherited speakers

A pair in Texas, make an offer, a road trip to hear them, or pay UPS to pack and ship to you. Seller says Rosewood, but they are walnut stained red I bet.
