help please? connecting power amp to streamer/dac without preamp?
Certainly doable.  I would set a volume limit in the audio settings menu to limit maximum volume that won’t blow your speakers or ears. 
Room rearrangement. Cable question
I have one of my four systems setup that way, equipment on the side with 20 foot speaker cables.  System sounds great with either of my two tube amps or my one class D amp.  The cables I use are DH labs Q10 in biwired configuration. 
Focal 948 vs. Klipsch Cornwall recommendations?

audphile1, I experienced the same issues during the first week or so of my Qubuz trial.  I was ready to jettison Qobuz.  Then for some inexplicable reason the sound improved.  I have two days left before the end of the free trial.  At this point I...

Expensive components never cured a bad setup. 
Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000?

Can we talk about Qobuz for a minute
calvanandhobbes, I have the same impression of a “smile” shaped eq.  A bit of boom and sizzle with every song.  Current Tidal user here.  
Bluesound Vault Combined with Node 2
I have a Vault 2 in the great room and a Node 2i in a second bedroom system.  I can access the stored music files via the Node wirelessly.  I experience no connection difficulties or dropouts. I estimate the distance to about 30 feet with two wall...

Never-ending Speaker Journey ($1,000 budget)
5 foot difference in the listening position between left and right speakers with the speakers 10 inches from the wall!  So you’re looking for speakers that can solve that setup?  Waste of time and money until you solve your setup issues. 
Subs And The Downstairs Neighbors
There are subwoofer platforms that isolate from the floor, brand name Sub Dude. You wouldn’t be able to use under a couch, but a more conventional sub placed on one acting as an end table might work for you. 
Speaker placement
Zero dollars to educate yourself or you pay Bob for a setup Bob likes.  Easy choice for me.
