K-horn won't fit, any other corner speakers recommended for a big room?
Thanks mrdecibal. One more if I may: Klipsch Cornwall- okay in corners? I ask because my brother has similar placement restrictions as OP but for different reasons and KHorns won’t be in his budget. But I’d rather know going in than to advise some...

mrdecibel: If you know, how do the Klipsch La Scala perform with corner placement?  Are they designed for corner placement ideally?  
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
Thanks for continued testing and updates   
Best sounding processor
I agree that marantz is anything but bright and harsh. If anything, it has the reputation of being on the warm and comfortable side. I own a 5012 as my Atmos. 5.1.2 HT receiver and use a pm7000n super integrated amp in my office 2 ch system. Very ... 
Class A into Class AB
Question for atmosphere:  Do you think amps that are only spec'd over their class A operating range, but transition to class AB outside of that range, are properly called "class A" amps?  I'm thinking of Luxman L590axii, spec'd to 30W at 8 ohm, 60... 
Luxman 590AXII Discontinued??
Well the 595 is a limited edition 95th anniversary model, with production capped at a few hundred units.  So not really a replacement, I wouldn't think.  But I don't know.  Very interested in the Luxman plans up and down the integrated lineup.  If... 
Luxman 590AXII Discontinued??
Their 100th anniversary won’t be til 2025, 3 years away  
Integrated upgrade recomendations
Rega Elex R maybe?  
Magico A5, Wilson SabrinaX, or PS Audio FR30?
“The better value at least in terms of materials is likely the PSA FR30 since they will only sell direct, no dealer markups - so through a dealer like the other two the price would increase to 55k and then you are no longer comparing same price po... 
Streamer - if I can't get a CA Azur 851n then what?
Generally probably yes. Although I had Edge W power amp and perhaps the Cambridge dacs had better synergy with that amp. But on my Audio Research integrated I prefer the Teac. And the Teac having MQA is nice over the CA’s   But looks wise no con... 
Streamer - if I can't get a CA Azur 851n then what?
So there are several differences. 851n is digital only preamp, without any analog inputs, where now also has analog. Build quality is much higher with nq as would be expected at triple the price.  851n uses analog devices dacs where nq uses ess da... 
Streamer - if I can't get a CA Azur 851n then what?
I owned the Azur 851n and liked it a lot. Eventually moved up the line to Edge NQ  
Looking for amp to go with Triangle Borea Br08
Maybe look at marantz pm7000n.  Includes digital streamer.  All in one.  I'm using it to drive Triangle Borea 02 bookshelfs (backup speakers for change of pace) and seems good for the price.  Marantz known for a warmer sound.  
Audio Research or Luxman?
It depends on what level of Audio Research you are talking about.  For example, within the last month I had a one hour audition of Wilson SabrinaX speakers both with the Luxman L509x integrated amp ($10k) and also with the ARC separates LS28 and V... 
Audio Research or Luxman?
Ok, just checking because you said “50x line”, which I interpreted to mean all three. Did you mean just the 505, or what exactly is being discontinued
