The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
This thread by Terry has caused quite a stir for Coda, as of today my 5.5 S has been on order for 5 weeks and it may ship maybe by next week! And Terry's review has not even gone live yet!  Selling like hot cakes just from this thread evidently. C... 
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
I would appreciate your findings if you don't mind when you get it settled into your rig, thank you! It would also be the end gamer for me as well.  
Small amp or all in 1 choice?
@fastfreight  Thanks, I found a few that might fit. @benanders The ceiling mounted speakers are a coaxial design with the ability of movable directional tweeters. My wife made a comment that the cheap amp in the RV didn't sound as nice as the Yam...

Small amp or all in 1 choice?
Ok I am looking into finding a HT Receiver that isn't too deep to fit on the shelf. I have looked at Schitt amps as well as others to mate with a all in 1 integrated. 13-14 inches deep will fit. I could then put a small speaker on the shelf to act... 
Small amp or all in 1 choice?
OK guys, please check your audiophile hats at the door here. (I know it's hard when sound quality is so important to you, i understand i have a $65K dedicated 2Ch system myself) I fully understand the compromise in SQ. I don't care. I don''t have ... 
Small amp or all in 1 choice?
I want to run dual stereo, no surround multi-channel. I want HDMI ARC so I can turn on the TV and have sound without screwing around with several remotes. I cannot fit a receiver in there. I have an inquiry to SVS if I can power 2 speakers per sid... 
miniDSP SHD integration
There is also the Mini DSP Studio SHD. Streamer > Studio > DAC> preamp. You can then do Dirac live room correction. Contact Deer Creek Audio for guidance on this.    
The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you?
Onkyo Receiver and American Acoustics speakers. Techniques turntable. About 1980 ish.   
Going Tubing
FWIW I drove my old Triton 1.r's with my VAC Renaissance 70/70 with ease. Sounded outstanding! Also FWIW it will be listed on The Music Room next if interested. Fresh from the VAC factory and very new tubes too.

Today marks 3 weeks since my amp order was received by Coda, the wait is killing me.  Maybe next week. 🙏

In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers
Yeah, I think that the speakers are too far from the front wall plus their location may have room node cancellation. Try moving them the toward the front wall (behind the speakers) 1 foot at a time to get a rough idea if that improves. His side wa... 
In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers
Can you list his system components?   An expensive yet excellent solution is the Legacy Wavelet II with room correction. Or possible a few acoustic panels on the side wall for early reflections at least?
