@soix @ghdprentice You know, to be honest, I'm not sure. I think at this point my system is 98% there, perhaps slightly bring forward the vocals, but that might mostly be it. I think I've gotten my system almost as far as I can go without doing room treatments. With 4 and 6 year old boys, it's hard to justify room treatments right now, since it may not be too far down the road that my home will evolve as my sons grow, and I may change up the layout of the family room (where the system is now) or possibly even move the entire system to a different room in the house all together, like the formal living room (where my system originally resided when I first moved in).
@tweak1 Thanks, I've sent them an email to see what they've to offer/recommend.
@ellajeanelle @jallan @snapsc Thanks for your input regarding Schiit. I was intrigued by the Kara specifically due to a combination of reasonable price, balanced XLR in/outputs, and excellent measurements in instrumented testing found elsewhere online. It's true, I haven't had a chance to actually listen to any of Schiit's stuff, so that does make it a bit of an unknown quantity--the same applies to the Outlaw monoblocks, where I simply selected them based on price and instrumented measurements found online, and of course higher output and XLR connections.
