Potential upgrade path…


My current system is:

Rogue st 100 dark amps (biamping 2)

Don Sachs 2 preamp

Aurender N10

Holo May KTE dac

Legacy Audio Signature SE speakers

Thanks.

Speaker placement is key too, I use the Dolby specs of L and R speaker 22 to 30 degrees angle from the MLP. If you can't move speakers wide enough you have to bring the MLP forward.

Ozzy my speakers are currently 9’ apart from center baffle to center baffle. I might be able to get to 10’. 

Kota I will look into the room treatment kit you speak of. With the right decorative panels it might pass. It will be interesting to see where Anthony will put them with the furniture in the room. Right behind my listening position is a window with a fairly heavy curtain so the ceiling and side walls are probably all that could be treated. I have known for a while that room treatments were necessary. The panels I have were an experiment that I thought helped to a degree. I suspect, like Riley, that the ceilings might not fly. 

Good, as for the speaker positions Dolby recommends 22 to 30 degrees from the MLP, that means either move the speakers wider or bring your seat forward. This diagram is for home theater but the angles still apply for 2 channel:

This is a long video but will give you the principles and general treatment strategy:
