Subwoofers
Maybe it's me but I find Rhythmiks site hard to navigate. Other than adding new products, I don't think they've updated their website in the many years I've been visiting it, but all the subs are listed on the front page.  Click on one to get t...

Why REL?  You'll get a lot more bang for your buck, and great sound with a pair of Rythmik G25HPs.  With REL you're paying at least half the price of the sub for marketing and dealer markup.  With Rythmik (and other internet direct options), there... 
MoFi or Harbeth (used)
Have a look at KEF Reference 1’s.  I tried to stay away from suggesting things other than what the OP said they are considering, but here goes... This not a bad recommendation, but the KEFs might be too much speaker in a room that size.  I hav...

@mijostyn That's really neat that you like going down rabbit holes in pursuit of what you consider perfection, but that doesn't sound like what the OP was asking about.   
Do other DACs do this? Auralic Vega
Not normal. I had one and don't remember it doing that ever.  
Subwoofer Advice
@mijostyn I understand the principle behind dual opposing drivers. There are many ways to get good sound, with some better than others. That doesn't mean all other options are "wrong". I rarely listen at loud volumes and have 4 subs. They are neve... 
The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD
I'm glad CDs are "dying". Lots of inexpensive music is popping up at the local record store, and unless they are poorly mastered, CDs can sound fantastic with a good player.

Sounds like a great time! I love Jazz Alley!

@navyachts I'm in Olympia. For some reason I thought you might be in Bremerton.  
Subwoofer Advice
That sounds like bad advice.  There are a number of different subwoofers that should work fine in your space.  A smallish sealed sub (or better - 2) will fill in the bottom end and shouldn't create issues if set up correctly.  Are you in Washingt... 
MoFi or Harbeth (used)
I have no experience with the MoFi speakers, but based simply on their price point and what I've seen/heard from other MoFi electronics (the UltraDeck and MasterPhono), I think their speakers would be hard pressed to outdo the Harbeths, but that's... 
Small speaker advice
Joseph Audio Pulsar2 Graphene fit in your budget and what you describe as your listening tastes.  
Streamer between Roon Nucleus Plus and DAC
Everything matters, but if you're looking to improve sound quality of your digital playback, the DAC is where most of the magic happens, and that's where I suggest you consider investing. I had a Nucleus and an Aqua La Voce S3 DAC.  I replaced th... 
Subwoofer Advice
the wireless option sounds great, do you think is a good way to go, is wireless going to be accurate match with the rest of the system? Hardwired, at least for most audio products, seem to be the preferred set-up. In the past I had 2 or 3 of my... 
Moon 340i and Speakers
Thank you all very much.  That was exactly the type of information I was looking for.  I wonder if anyone has any experience with smaller Harbeths.  Even though I have never even seen any in real life, much less heard them, I have an unexplainabl...
