Best amp options for JM Reynaud Bliss Silver
"Hoping for better bass extension and improved soundstage holography" uhm an amp doesn't add more bass extension. do you know your speaker/room RTA? get that checked first before asking an amplifier to add bass to a speaker  
Praise for Dutch & Dutch
@69zoso69 yup. I came from headphones so finding endgame was less of a needless venture as I homed in on what I wanted pretty easily. I have a phenomenal setup that allows just musical enjoyment and bliss which means there's little motivation to ...

Listening to the music is the end goal that seems to be missing in this GAS scenery. So, enjoy them. They're incredible speakers  @69zoso69   
Upgrade from ProAc Response D2 in small room
@goethe58 "treated with several GIK bass traps" how was this done and did you take any RTA alongside your listening to them in your space. Cos I don't know what is missing that you want to change unless you just have what is called upgradeitis  
Looking to upgrade the Edition XS to the Arya Organic. Will I be disappointed?
@trog69 you may or may not be disappointed. Depends on how the headphone couples with your HRTF to produce HpTF variatons   These reviews should help somewhat but like I said, HpTF variations are a bitch.   XS review - https://youtu.be/BiU4O0g... 
Walk-in soundstage
It's Steve Huff. He must embellish as always.   But you can have a system with pretty controlled dispersion patterns for both horizontal and vertical planes, they're pair matched as speakers within ±0.5dB, you have the room where masking is not ... 
Combo DAC/AMP for Headphones
@mlapenta get a JDS Element IV - Element IV - Shop JDS Labs  
Buckeye Amps musicality? Not measurements, musicality....
@unsound I guess someone people apparently like the makers of the amps to tell them tales of subjective euphoria. Telling someone your amp is wire gain isn't fun for some people (I am not one of those as I need my amp as wire gain as possible cos ... 
Wilson Watt-Puppy Amplifier?
And for Power amp, this Purifi 1ET9040BA Eigentakt Stereo Power amp @tinear123  - 1ET9040BA Eigentakt Stereo Power Amp    
Wilson Watt-Puppy Amplifier?
Luckily your Wilson has a sensitivity rating of 91.4dB@2.83V/1m. Meaning they’re not voltage hungry speakers. For their impedance, when the complex impedance is accounted for in respect of peak current draw, the minimum value is close to 2.7 ohm... 
Recommendations for speakers in a much smaller listening room.
@backwash uhm it's not about SPL meter even though that is important too. Do you have a calibrated measurement mic for taking RTAs?  
Need guidance on my planned Audiophile setup based on Synthesis A100
@vzz1924 you can reach out to Vespers(the maker of the build series) here - https://vespers.ca/contact/?v=6848ae6f8e78 And ask him to maybe do some iteration that will be ideal for your space and send those plans your way   
Speaker pairing for audiolab 9000 series
@hardrocker69 you can recoup the funds from selling of the Heresy IV since it still has a fandom (I honestly don't know why)   And get a pair of MoFi Sourcepoint 10ME in Black or Walnut      
Speaker pairing for audiolab 9000 series
which 9000 amp? A or P?  
Recommendations for speakers in a much smaller listening room.
@backwash did some simulations: Simulation 12x16x8 room with speakers of F3 of 40Hz with a subwoofer crossed at 80Hz but without treatment - https://imgur.com/a/GpuEXQw and Simulation 12x16x8 room with speakers of F3 of 40Hz with a subwoofer cr...
