SF Amati vs Serafino
That is good advice Daveyf, thank you! 
SF Amati vs Serafino
Thanks for the replies.  Right now I have the Guarneri’s on the long wall under the 7’ part of the ceiling and it slopes over my head to the ‘back’ wall.  I will probably keep this configuration though it would be nice to put the screen on the sho... 
Preamp or Processor First
Another thought...What about getting an excellent streamer/DAC and going direct into the D’Agostino amp and skipping the Yamaha and holding off on a preamp?I eventually will get a preamp, but I could do the stream/DAC first. 
Mcintosh MX170 2-Channel Sound
I wish I could hear the MX170 in my set up while listening to music and compare it to a good preamp.  I am not sure how much better the MX170 will be in movies over my Yamaha but I am guessing a dedicated preamp will beat the MX170 in 2-channel en... 
Preamp or Processor First
Thanks for the feedback.  Now to listen to some preamps!  Since my amp is SS, I will probably lean tube, unless I get the D’Agostino progression.  So it will probably come down to a Tube Mac, Audio Research Ref6, or the Progression.Thanks again! 
Mcintosh MX170 2-Channel Sound
Thanks for the comments, and for explaining the Samra reference, I had no idea.I currently have a 5.2, I have a sunfire amp powering Kef LS50’s for my rears at the moment.  I want to get a pair of full range, possibly SF Olympica III’s or somethin... 
Mcintosh MX170 2-Channel Sound
My question was not very clear at all, sorry about that.  I was basically asking if I should get a stereo preamp to go with my Yamaha processor or skip the preamp and just get a much better processor (MX-170).   
Mcintosh MX170 2-Channel Sound
I have the D’Agostino classic 3 and it is powering the Amati’s and the Vox center channel.  Long term my plan is to get monoblocks for the Amati’s and have the classic 3 power the Vox and the rears.I do not own the Mac yet, I have a Yamaha CX-A510... 
Sub Not Waking Up
The Yamaha is not triggering them.  When I go through the YPAO process I can hear them kick on and the light comes on.  This does not happen when just listening to them.  I rewired them using the speaker level inputs coming straight from the amp. ...

Bookshelf Speakers for Large Room
I did not answer your last two questions:I will pair a good amp to the speakers, right now if I go with the Sonus Faber I will probably get D’Agostino amp.  I do literally listen to all music but classic rock is probably my favorite but my list is... 
Bookshelf Speakers for Large Room
Is there a way to post a picture?  I cannot find a way.The space where the speakers sit is about 22” deep.
