B&W 705 S3 with bad acoustics
@renosteve  Just a thought, but check out SoundLabspeakers.com and read their white paper on the SoundLab electrostatic speakers.  The section on distribution of sound waves should be interesting to you.  Could be a good speaker choice for your ro...

??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ???

How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital?

AV rack - Quadraspire Evo

Listening Room or Components or my ears?
Your description makes the room sound like a problem.  I can surmise you have one wall that is +/- 21 feet long, but not much else.   A lot of reflections off walls with paneling.  Have a look at this site and see if you can select an area of the ... 
Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000?
Will I be able to hear the benefits of a $50k DAC if my ears are only gold plated, or do they need to be 24k?    
Favorite rock/pop male voices
Bob Dylan David Bromberg  
Bad idea?
Make this a DIY project.  It's easy and you get a nice sense of accomplishment doing something for yourself?  Have a look at all the cable options at a place like  https://www.vhaudio.com/search.html?ss360Query=speaker%20cable Cheers.

@judsauce  Now you hurt my feelings. 😭  
What artists can you not get enough of?
Neil Young Bob Dylan Ry Cooder David Bromberg Miles Davis Brubeck, Hororwitz, Oscar Peterson........ Off the top of my head, artists I have at least 10 recordings of.  Zappa would also make that list but I don't really play him much these da... 
Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors
I was in the process of writing a snarky answer to this repetitive question, when I realized, no one is making me read posts that have no interest for me.  So I deleted it.  Talk amongst yourselves.
