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.  
How critical is streamer hardware to SQ when it feeds a good DAC?
I jumped from the Vault 2i to a Auralic Aries G1 and it was a noticeable jump in overall sound quality. Both were connected to my Anthem STR preamp   
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.

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... 
Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound
A buddy of mines YouTube channel and he did that comparison      
Thoughts on Lumin D2 Upgrade from Node 2i
I 100% agree with you that the Lumin app is terrible at best. I sent mine back and bought an Auralic instead which has a far superior UI and sound in my opinion. I had the Bluesound Vault 2i digital out to my Anthem STR Pre and the sound quality j... 
Bakersfield CA or Kern County?
@sgoode  Is there a club in Fresno?  
Smallish room speakers
I have about the same size room with a pair of Aurum Cantus V7F in there which do just fine for me. Previous was 6/8 inch full range, LSA bookshelves and Fyne F501. None of them stack up  
What Monitors would you pick for my new office (bookshelf) >>
LSA-10 Statement is a great little speaker with a beautiful finish.
