Credenza or media stand for hiding away equipment
Thanks for all responses. Two brands that fit the bill, if anyone is looking are BDI and Salamander (as mentioned). I am currently working with a designer from Etsy to customize one of their credenza designs.  I am OK with leaving it open, obviou... 
Eversolo DMP -A8 Server,Dac, Streamer,Preamp - best bang for the Buck
I believe it’s South Korean, does look a very good value.  
anybody compare Dynaudio Special 40's/Heritage Specials/Confidence 20's?
Main issue with upper range dynaudio is what you mentioned, they sound boxed in at low levels and with less powerful amps.  
Obvious Epiphany
I mean you can always utilize an amplifier with a balance knob.  
KEF Blade or Blade 2
What are the differences between the first gen and the meta versions?

Legacy Audio Studio HD for your smallish space. They don’t have ports, so easy to place. Big woofer for metal, very easy to drive. And you can trim both bass and treble depending on room size and listening area.    https://legacyaudio.com/prod...

Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
As for the OP, I’m on the exact same boat TBH and I’m targeting Focal, Borrensen, Vandersteen, Persona, YG within that range.  
Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
@ellajeanelle , “jl35: Aren’t the speakers themselves unnecessary?  Logic tells me that most able to spend 20K on a pair of speakers would likely be traveling first class, staying at a 4–5-star hotel and eating in nice restaurants, not including d... 
Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K...
Aside from the recommendations, I’m also building a short list. YG Ascent  Focal Scala Utopia Evo (used)/Sopra 2 new, as Sopra 3 would be too big Paradigm Persona 7F Magico S3 MK2 used        
Does a record player make that much of a difference??
Stability as in level, speed, reduced wow/flutter are all very important imo. So the table, tonearm and cartridge as a system matters a lot. But possibly the cartridge less so than the table and arm.
