Not sure if you have them already but Stillpoints under your equipment would make a nice improvement.

For me the most improvement came from Stillpoints under my speakers followed by my OPPO BDP-83E then my C2500.

After that maybe some room treatments.

You can't have too many bass traps😊 I have them on all vertical corners.
Made an amazing difference to my room. Recently had live instruments in there, tenor and alto sax, accordion and they sounded excellent. I now have no discernable issues now with my room acoustics.

You have a great collection of electonics to start off with. What cables do you use?They can make a big improvement. I use WW and was REALLY surprised with the improvement.

I currently don't have any room treatments. I don't have a dedicated room and there simply is no WAF when I tried convincing my wife that there is a need for them.

There is something called accustic wall art. which is an acoustical rockwool covered with a picture, it would almost as a normal picture hanging on the wall , so that should also ad to the WAF.
Just found this link so you get the idea.

David.......There's some good looking handles for the 501's in the Marketplace. They would look super on your amplifiers.
