How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!

I really love my stereo currently. I keep thinking I should be looking for the next piece to upgrade - phono stage, stereo subs, etc., but honestly not sure what to change or why I’d potentially spend more money to achieve a result that’s lesser or equal to my current sound quality. I sorta feel clueless as to how to proceed without screwing up what I have. I know it can get better but honestly I’m at a place when I just don’t know how it can. Hmmmmm.... not a bad problem I guess. Open to suggestions for sure. Thx.

If you have furniture in your listening room you can ignore room treatment as many hifi music fans do. If you have logic in your brain and reasonable listening chops you can also ignore pretty much everything sold by SR or Perfect Path or any other fringe tweak company, again, as the vast majority of audio geeks do...then, once you've come to a place where you're enjoying the music coming at your ears, you can just buy more of that and relax knowing everything's fine.

Furniture is not a replacement for room treatment. It can even make things worse.

The quality of your ears, in relation to home stereo, is limited by the best system you have ever heard. Before you hear a system that is a revelation you dont really know what you are missing, nor how your home system compares. 

When respondents get on this forum telling you to ignore cables, tweaks and room treatments take a look at their systems and then choose if you should listen or ignore. Many enthusiasts have already made a decision about such things and any communication with these members is casting pearls before swine. 

Like audiozenology states, furniture is no substitute for room treatments. FACT!
