This is the product of my first year of getting into the audio community. Starting with finding the CR-2020 and a pair of KLF-10s last winter. From there I was hooked, and made my way up to what you see here. Also have a pair of KLF-20s as well.

Nice system, it brings back great memories for me, I once had a Yamaha CR2020! Loved it. Are you using it to help drive the Klip’s or just as a pre-amp cause you have that monster Advom? Also, you can never go wrong with Oppo! Tim
Very nice. I have a pair of KLF-10’s with Crites tweeters and crossovers. I haven’t listened to them in a while but I can tell you that the tweeters make a huge difference over the stock ones. What do you have your speakers standing on in the picture?
-subterranean6, I have played with the positioning a bit, having them out farther from the wall has helped quite a bit. I have also tried toeing them in just a tad, that makes a different sound, I think I prefer straight on the best.
Wow, you've had quite a year!! I love Adcoms, you've got gobs of power reserve on tap using efficient speakers like Klipsch. And I'll give a +1 to getting those speakers as far out as you can realistically live with; though I'm glad to see they at least have some breathing room already.
And as a rather frugal audiophile myself, finding 2nd hand gear is a very fun addiction. Not sure if that should be a warning or cheering you on... either way, get ready!
