@ricred1 ,
Good to know that. I did not realize that you also use tri-traps in the corners, and that too similar color as I do. I have ordered 4 additional tri-traps for the back corners. I was advised to go with 2 more 4A Alpha (2D) on front wall and 2 6A Alpha (2D) on the back wall, based on my current room setup. Once I install the rear tri-traps I will see how it changes the acoustics and then proceed.
Would love to see more pictures of your excellent system.

@ricred1,
Great move on installing the GIK panels. How did the Alpha panels help? Wondering how you made the decision between 1D and 2D on the Alpha panels? I am currently ordering 4 tri-traps for my back corners. Plan to add 2 4A Aplha with 2D and 2 6D Alpha with 2D after a few months.

Ricred1,
You should wait for thhe A21 to settle in. But do you feel the sound more smooth compared to your previous amp? Or does it it feel that the A21 is able to drive the speakers more easily?
With your system, a dedicated DAC makes more sense.

Ricred1,
What difference did the A21 make in your system? What other preamp did you consider before finalizing the P5? I have heard a lot of nice things about Aerial loudspeakers.
