Jon,
First off, your x350 is way overkill for your speakers. Your speaker sensitivity is 104db with only one watt of power. That means your speakers are only using a few watts to play at rock concert levels. I am sure the many Klipsch fans on this site and others can direct you towards some smaller tube amps that work well with the La Scalas. The x350 is a great amp, just a whole lot more than you need.
Your weak link is surely the CD player. I would look to upgrade that.
Typical hi-fi guys go for the "less is more" approach. Less electronics in the signal path, the better the sound. If your system needs a crossover I would recommend a Bryston. The rest of your eq's are probably doing more harm than good. Sell them, and buy some good cables instead.
Good luck,
Stewart
