Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome?
This could be a nice option to consider:   https://magnepan.com/collections/on-wall/products/magnepan-mc1?variant=42607774335212    
Integrated suggestions
The Belles virtuoso may be out of your price range, but it’s got a balanced input, and it’s 400 w per into 4 ohms. Over 16a per ch peak amps. This amp sounds amazing   
Why Do Cables Matter?
+1 audioman58  I used blue jeans cables until I was able to hear a difference when I borrowed a few pairs from audio connection. Not only was the highs cleaner, but even when I switched to the cable with the battery, everything was well balanced.... 
Downsizing: Separates>Integrated --PSAudio>Pass Labs
Did you ever consider the Belles Virtuoso? It is a fantastic match with the treos. I heard them together at Johnnys shop at audio connection.  The belles is a sweet dual mono amp. 200 per channel into 8 ohms. 16 amps peak power per channel.  
Center Channel Dialogue
Put all your levels all down into the minus 10 except the center. Boost that one to plus 10. As a test see what you hear  
The best speaker cables you’ve had
A few people are non believers in cable differences. But my wife who was not even sitting in front of the speakers heard a distinct difference. One cable I had was audio quest type 9. The song I was playing she said sounded too sharp. So I said ho... 
One of the great things about Vinyl
The good thing about vinyl is some albums had subliminal messages in them that you could only hear if you spun the record backwards. To my knowledge, you can’t do this with digital. So it’s good to have both. That kinda stuff impresses your friend... 
Where do you stop?
If upgrading the system to silver wiring, what about the power cables coming into the house? They are still copper. So you can only go so far. Plus current doesn’t flow faster through silver vs copper but it does matter about wire size. Actually I... 
UPS. Friend Or Foe?
Whenever I ship, I always overpack using bubble wrap, solid styrofoam and double box. So far so good.  
Only two tracks to test your system, forever!
Also one world one prayer by the Wailers. A lot of the other responses had good suggestions too.  
Only two tracks to test your system, forever!
This is a great track to test your system because of the overall clarity. Meet the Mets fight song by Da Stadium Organist. Impress your friends with this. It’s pretty cool because you feel like you’re really in a ball park.  
Does anyone know the detailed specs of the new Belles Virtuoso?
Thx for all the info. Will contact John R for listening comparison.   
Does anyone know the detailed specs of the new Belles Virtuoso?
Difference between the signature, dual mono, and virtuoso don’t seem to exist in any internet discussion that I’ve seen other than power output. Is that about it? I can appreciate what emil wrote about the virtuoso. But, is almost double the cost ... 
Maybe this is the winter you build something!
I built a rack unit out of threaded rod and walnut butcher block over Covid 19 shutdown and it came out awesome. Better quality than what you find in any retail store. No it wasn’t a winter project, but still gives you the satisfaction every time ... 
What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly?
I do like blue jeans 10 gauge speaker cable with locking banana plugs. Very good quality and very good at transferring current from amplifier.
