What other equipment do you use with your Ascend speakers? What is your next upgrade?

All audio files are digitized. I don't believe in the snake-oil belief that FLAC sounds better than high quality MP3 even on the most expensive equipment or that high res 24-bit/192kHz files sound better than redbook CD. The most important factor in high quality audio is the original mastering. You cannot revive a 1980 recording with 24/192 treatment and expect it to sound better. Crap in, crap out. I use LAME encoder at V2 (APS) setting for transparent quality MP3 audio played on either Foobar or JRiver

Oppo UDP-203 plays any CD, SACD, or Blu-Ray audio, output via HDMI
Marantz AV8802a is my Digital Audio Convertor
Home made monoblock amplifiers with Anaview AMS1000 modules (600W RMS at 8ohms each channel)
Close attention to acoustic treatments of the room (rug/carpet) and wall treatments.

I have absolutely no plans to upgrade. If I move into a larger space, I would be tempted to install high quality satellites at the ceiling for DTS:X or Dolby Atmos.

Nice equipment! What do you use as your display? Do you have a projector?
