Gone from my 2 channel system is my Cary SLP-05, which has been replaced by an Ayre KX-5 twenty. Maybe it's the synergy with my Ayre phono pre, but after an extensive A/B I felt the Ayre made a significant difference.
Also, upgraded my VPI's tonearm and cartridge. Added the fatboy (unipivot) and an Airtight PC7.
New pics to be posted soon..

For awhile I was using the Focus Audio speakers as double duty for both stereo and HT, but now I only use them for all things surround. The Thiels are strictly for 2 channel. The REL works with both systems (LFE and Speakon cables are swapped depending on which medium).
I'm sure your stereo is as refined as it is dynamic. I love that it looks understated but bristling with energy at the same time. Nicely composed photographs too! Congratulations...
