Will have to check out a few of these that are new to me thanks  
Where do I go from here?
The 3 most important considerations in a quality system in my experience are, 1. Your room and listening position.  2. The source - suggest a separate streamer and DAC and 3. Your speakers and subs.  I would start with your room.  Once you get it ... 
Merry go round
Good discussion.  I find this hobby is a journey not a destination and I like tweaking my system and adding different systems.  My main system is the best it’s ever been  and so I’m happy listening to my music.  There’s always new equipment coming... 
speaker upgrade fever
Suggest speakers with beryllium tweeters.  I am very sensitive to sibilance too and a local dealer suggested the tweeters after I had issues with several different speakers over time.  Ended up with Revels and I’m very happy.  Went with the M126Be... 
Does You Subwoofer Settings ??
I have a pair of SVS SB 1000 Pro subs.  One of the things I like about SVS is the app.  I adjust the volume of the subs occasionally depending on the music I’m listening to.  I don’t adjust other settings since they are set by the preamp and sound...

William Shatner, I love it.  Is there anything he can’t do, besides sing lol.   
Warm, flexible, cheap-ish cables?
2 suggestions.  Blue Jeans cable and Pine Tree audio.  You can contact both directly and share your specific needs and they will work with you.  I have both and they’re excellent and within your price range.

It’s how some people choose to interact online.  They may behave the same way in person.  Some people believe things strongly and feel they have to correct others that think or feel differently.  On this site it’s sound on another site it could be... 
What compilation album from The Kinks do I want?
Kink Kronicles and Come Dancing cover early and later years Kinks. Understand you like CDs as I still do but suggest streaming with a Kinks playlist. I have one for each of my favorite bands. Lets you pick which songs and which versions.  
Seeking advice
I stream Qobuz playlists when I’m breaking in new equipment.  I usually shoot for 4 days about 100 hours.  On another note I assume you are adequately heating the summer home during the cold winter months.  I learned the hard way after seeing the ... 
Replace tubes yearly?
I moved away from tubes years ago and now only solid state.  It’s whatever you prefer for equipment in my opinion.  Anyway, I usually leave my equipment on since it goes into a low power state after a certain period of nonuse.  I do find that turn... 
Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation
Fed Ex used to be the best and now they’re the worst in my experience.  Have had the best experience with UPS most recently.  Amazon is good because they take a picture of the delivery to confirm where it was left.
