Looking for a good full range floor stander
@audiotroy ,Just curious - have you heard the ProAc D48 in a setting similar to OP's room? @paliden,I had sent you a PM about my dealer for ProAc. Talk to him about the ProAc D48R, K3 and K6.

@rja It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. You nailed it. 
Preamp Upgrade
@sidvee+1 on the Rhumba 1.3 preamp. Good to know that you were able to compare it to much more expensive preamp and it can compete. I changed the tubes to Gold Lions and the sound is even more natural. The bass became even more thunderous. And yes...

I use a ProAc D48 and love it. The K6 are supposed to be better. 
Light weight speaker cables
You might not find Clear Day easily as the owner Paul has passed away. I recently was contacted by a Verastarr cable ($$$$) owner that he replaced his cables with Audio Envy loudspeaker cables. He went on to chime that he replaced his entire mega ... 
What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio?
@jszei +1.While I was aware that speakers make the most difference and components and cabling also made difference, it is the affect of power conditioning that made the most impact in my mind. I always thought that power through dedicated line is ... 
ProAc Response D48R......
User @jperry has a room similar to yours and uses the D40R which is similar to the D48R. I suggest that you PM him and get his opinion, if you are in a hurry. 
Help selecting a new preamp
I highly recommend the Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3. You might also want to check out the Extreme version of this tube preamp. This does not come with a phono input though. 
Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank
In a private discussion, one of the members told me that he replaced some $$$$ Verastarr foils with Audio Envy cables. I am trying to find more information on these cables. 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
Audio Envy has been brought to my attention. Looks like some folks replaced their $$$$ cables with these. 
Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??

Streamer for oppo 205
How about Chromecast on the 205? YouTube and Tidal should work with that.  
Proac D48R
@kclone ,Good to know that you are still hanging on to your ProAcs. One thing to know - you have (probably) NOT heard the full potentials of these loudspeakers. I recently introduced the Inakustik power conditioner and later a Inakustik power cord... 
Tidal WiFi not as good as cd
Tidal+Chromecast works great in my system. Absolutely no issues streaming. Love the sound quality with the added benefit of convenience.  
What equipment have you bought this year so far ?
Inakustik AC-3500p power conditioner.
