Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space...
I have a 12x15 room with the 1.7s The tweeters are on the inside at 3ft and other side of speaker from front wall is 4ft. So properly placed you get awesome imaging. Make sure to use magnerisers too. Stock stands are just ok. Also you need a good ... 
Add External DAC or Upgrade to a New Streamer / DAC?
So even the Auralic all in one streamer/dac sounds good, but maybe even separate dac there would sound even better. I don’t know, anyone know about that?  
Mac Mini As A Streaming Source
Computers also introduce noise into your system. You got all the stuff running in the background with a computer, while a dedicated streamer is clean. I ran Mac mini for a time, with audrvarna, then switched to a dedicated streamer with Qobuz. Muc... 
Recommendations for against the wall high efficiency speakers
Why not hang the speakers on the wall?   Take a look at the magnepan mci—- may be very wife appealing, and is dipole.  https://magnepan.com/   
Subwoofer
Dual rel subs are a good option for filling in the mid low bass like bass guitars very well. But for the super slam of HT and organ music that you can feel, Earthquake Sound has something called the tactile transducer. When mounted under chair or ...

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.
