@tkrtrb125 I think it's a disservice to their own business but they must know better how to sell and succeed    
critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve?
atc scm 40s are remarkable and at 7k a pair not expensive are you high? 7K is not expensive? Have you read what he has? His entire system doesn’t add up to 2K, how is it a sensible suggestion to make for seven grand? Are you listing whatever yo...

you could also add a sub. I think the big question, are you a "set and forget" type or a fiddler. If you are the former, you can get powered active speakers and sell the Rotel and also upgrade your cartridge. Pro-ject tonearms are good but you can...

speakers. Just a reasonable upgrade (500-1000 used) will get you a big improvement, Take advantage of the cructhfield or safesoundhq trials.  
New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s?
KEFs and Thiels are apples and oranges  
The Galion Audio TS A75 amplifier: Great amplifier for very little money

New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s?
I would not put 25K speakers in a 15x12 room (but that wasn't the question :) ) ATC, Dyna, Wlson or Sonus perhaps? Speakers from a company that's been around....

Subwoofer Advice
@mijostyn I would hope it doesn't have to cost 36K to solve all these problems. My solution with my very entry level Polks is low gain, that still produces the live sense of "beat in my chest"   
Subwoofer Advice
I had an ML sub (dynamo 700), sold it. It was everything but subtle and easy to dial in. It was the big, unruly bully in the room  
Dealers of High End Equipment
I never lived in one place for more than 20 years, more like 5 to 10
