What to add or change for my system?
"would the room treatments go behind the speakers" In a word, yes and just about everywhere else for optimum results.Go to GIK acoustics and ASC for great set up guidance. IMO you will get the most bang for your buck with this upgrade. 
They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why?
I'm going to swim upstream and disagree with the common belief that " if you have to ask how much it costs you can't afford it." If I'm shopping for let's say a frying pan I look to several factors to determine what I will purchase. Does it featur...

IMHO if they're proud of the value, they would brag about it. On the other hand..............

Duelund DCA16GA
mac,I have been using the Belden 8402 along with the WE 16ga for the past 6 months. Have them with a Truth line stage BEL 1001 SS amp, and Spendor SP-1 speakers. They replaced Kimber KCAG and Anti-Cable speaker wire. I do not find any of the harsh...

Real good tread for sharing new high quality recordings. Thanks Styxtrekr.I will go with The Ancient Muse by Loreena McKennitt, and Solar Echoes by Nigel Stanford.If the recording is engineered very poorly, regardless of the content I'm always lef... 
Why pay so much for super high end?
I love audio and I'm clueless on how to build any of the equipment.Being that I am in my mid 60's, lets look at the big picture. 
Power cable recommendations under $1k
I second the recommendation of Triode Wire Labs. Have a few in my system, and it seems to me that they fit your requirements nicely.Another cost saving path you can try is the Signal digital power cord. Their standard cord was not a match for my s... 
Coda Audio Video based in San Francisco is running a fraudulent operation
 After 40 years involved in this hobby it's clear to me that quality people are associated with it. However, no matter where you travel on this beautiful planet you need to be so careful that trash doesn't ruin your photograph.My wish is for a jus...
