New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
The older b&w speakers were really nice and filled the room very comfortably. Older speakers have value if they’re in good condition and it sounds like you’ve done some things to yours thank you so much to make them really nice. New speakers ... 
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
@aewarren  What do you have?   
Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it
Who is Roon and how many people do they employ? I haven a lifetime subscription and familiar with it always wondered what is this organization? It's a shame they don't offer customer service on the phone?    
15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit
Same leg of power? That's a multi branch circuit. The best have individual circuits if you can have room on your panel. I hate multi branch circuit terribly sloppy

Have you measured power consumption of components???? Ratings are not helpful sometimes when it comes to how much Power usage there would be  
Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp?
Make sure all your gears plugged into one circuit. Get a filter for your tv cable cord, try disconnecting Cable to see if that does anything.   Don’t sit so close to the speaker. Buy a puppy. Make a chocolate milkshake. I definitely think you'r... 
Amp Stands - Wood or Stone

Most of the modern age speakers tend to be more clinical and revealing with all kinds of detail and somehow people really like this, at least in the show room it’s impressive. But then when they take it back home and say wow this is very fatiguin... 
Using a power strip in an old home that was build back in 1955
Really super bad idea to use a Power strip when you don’t have grounding. That’s a lot of competing forces going on and you could easily screw up. Run a few grounding wires in key areas. Peace of mind. You’ll never get a clear answer on this one... 
Processor sound comparison- Anthem avm90 vs NAD M17 V2i
nad processor I’ve had experience with has an interface that’s very easy to follow and not glitchy. Although still most interfaces have their quirky qualities because the people developing them have no insight into what mere humans experience when...
