What brand speaker is this?
As a guess, looks like an old Boston Acoustic  
How to make small room sound bigger
@ei001h  I have that exact room size but with carpet over concrete. I did what @erik_squires  suggested, called GIK and worked with them to treat the room properly. I ended up with 12 of their 242 panels (4 on the front and back walls and a pair ... 
Your single most significant purchase mistake?
Schitt Aegir - Had a pair that would crash and burn while driving LSA Statement 10s and Fyne F501 speakers. Come to find out their advertised ratings weren't even close according to actual testing by Stereophile and Audio Science Review. After zer... 
Vienna Acoustics speakers help
Pull the midrange driver out and hook it up to an amp directly then work backwards towards the crossover network to see where signal is lost.  
Speaker pairings for Sprout 100 for music listening in medium sized room
I paired a Sprout with Triton2s for a client and they really liked it. Source was a Node2i   
GIK Vicoustic and others
I have a dedicated room the same size and I added 12 GIK 242 panels (4 front wall, 4 back wall and a pair each side wall) which made a nice difference. I emailed with them a few times and sent them pics and REW measurements. For my budget they rec... 
Anthem ARC and Subwoofers - A quick review
I've got the STR Stack and I agree with saying the ARC will get you to a good start but I definitely tweaked the targets/setting to get it the rest of the way.

Best AMP for GE Triton Reference Speakers
Anthem STR is my vote, can't beat their ARC software for the money  
Vincent integrated amplifiers. I'd be grateful for your experience.
I sold a bunch of their Tube Line products on various speakers and my clients were very happy with it. Vincent is a great bang for the buck product and sounds really good.

Is DSP room correction worth it with a high end analog system?
Yes its worth it.

What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
I went from a Vault 2i to a Auralic Aries G1 and have been very happy with the upgrade. I tried the Lumin U1 Mini and not only did I not like the sound but their app if horrible. I see you use Roon which eliminates my latter complaint but the sou...
