As you think about other upgrades, I'd suggest spending a bit of time going over the threads from 2016 or so about the Pro & CI upgrades. I went from a D120 to the D220 Pro, and the sonic character of the amps really is different. My thinking is that a Pro CI amp will sound different enough from the D120 Expert that it would, or could, affect your speaker choice.
Tha is just a thought, and you may already know about the sound profile of the Pro amps, but I wanted to mention it.
Nice room, by the way. I can certainly see that stand mount speakers are the right look & feel for your space.
