Is it worth upgrading my CCA wire?

I bought the wire at the begining when i didnt know about OFC or that the long runs need larger gauge. Things have sounded good. My fronts are 12 gauge CCA 8ft, center 12 gauge CCA 3ft, one surround is 14 gauge CCA 20ft, and the other surround is 14 gauge CCA 30ft. I think the 14 gauge is still ok at 30 feet, but i wanted to ask and see if its worth $100 and the time rewiring it. I would do everything in 12 gauge OFC if i did redo it. But if it sounds ok to everyone, why bother

My humble bedroom setup

Ive been playing with speaker, sub, and couch placement and got it sounding really good! Kef Q1 Meta mains, Q200C center, Q150 surrounds, Klipsch RW12D 12" sub, and a Yamaha RX-V385 receiver. Crossover is 100hz. Next is a 65" 4K 120hz tv to replace the faithful 50" 720p plasma. I love the Q1s and plan to one day get a 3rd for my center channel

10x10 foot area. 7.5 feet from the Q1s and theyre 7 feet apart. Right speakers edge is 13" from the side wall, and theyre 19" from the back wall. My ears are 13" from the back wall. I found that better than farther from the back wall. Is there anything you would advise to improve things?

Roughly how many watts per channel will RX-V6A output in 3 channel?

With a Yamaha RX-V6A that is 100w per 2 channels driven, if i power the front 2 channels with a power amp, how much would my center and 2 surrounds get in 5.1? Im wondering how much louder it will be than my Yamaha RX-V385 which is 70w x 2 channels driven

How much toe in do you like with your KEFs?

I have Q1 Metas and theyre toed in almost directly at me. I havent tried no toe in as most of the speakers i tried required toe in about a foot behind me. But i think i like almost right at me better since i moved my couch back and left them how they were. Im just curious what you do and what youve found
