Tube Preamp with XLR Sub Out?
My McIntosh C2300 has 3 zones of XLR (and RCA) output. I use one to my mains and a second to a sub which then gets crossed over (is that a term?) at the sub. Works great. It also has a triggered HT bypass that automatically puts it into that mode ... 
Thiel CS6
I had some for 10 years and loved them. Had to get rid of them when I moved as they were too big (visually) for the new audio room.You can find some great deals on them here at the 'goN. 
Cables for Dynaudio C1 Sig
I have read that others thought the C1 mkII was much better at lower levels. I never heard the mkI. The Signature designation is really a cosmetic difference (cabinet finish and name plate on back) and a longer warranty. The mkII has changes to th... 
Cables for Dynaudio C1 Sig

Recommended tube preamp with HT bypass?
I have a Mac C2300 in my system and that would meet all your needs. Also has the nice blue meters!

Waterproof Speakers & Good Sound?
I like the Energy Tempest. Good sound for their size. 
Amp for Thiel CS6
I have a McCormack DNA-2 Dlx pushing my CS6s. While I am happy with it, I would not call the sound "laid back". I did prefer it to my neighbors Classe twenty five.I have never heard a Krell amp in my system but would love to some time. I am also i... 
Best bourbon?
Mhedges,Makers Mark is a Beam product. And my favorite! 
Integrated to use as preamp for now?
Cambridge Audio has a few great pieces that would fit the bill. 
Loud buzz and hum in my REL subwoofer
Classic case of ground loop hum. Removing the second ground from the sub power cord will solve it.
