New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s?
I'm with Soix on this. I'd start with a trial of a high quality tube preamp. Thiels are NOT bright!!!! But they do expose what's in front of them, mercilessly. I'd also check to see if your cables are a good match with Thiels. I was a happy Thiel ... 
High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
+1 Hilroy! I have PMC Twenty5.23i rather small floorstanders and love em!  
What did you add to your 2 channel system to do HT?
I "added" a soundbar. No interest in making a dual purpose system and a few hundred for a decent sound bar suffices for me. YMMV  
Looking for a great front ported bookshelp speaker recommendation
You might try PMC's, great transmission line front ported bass from small speakers. Available from The Music Room, should have a trial period.  
Solo streamer
PS Audio Airlens! Sounds terrific with a Direct stream DAC.  
Help with high end bookshelf speakers
PMC makes very good speakers that sound big but are physically small, be it standount or floor standing. Crazy good bass due to Transmission line loading, front port. Easy to drive and not fussy about placement. The Music Room carries them.

Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
Vandersteen Treo. Beautiful build quality and design, very natural without harshness. Haven't heard em, but wonder how PS Audio FR 10's would hold up to your needs. They're on a significant sale right now.

Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner?
My system is much improved running all of it, including ARC Classic 60, through a PS Audio PowerPlant 12. Bass, soundstage, detail all better, no question. And it's all protected from surge.   
Help me pick a Dac
The Music Room is selling factory freshened PS Audio DirectStream Mk I's for $2000 with a factory warranty. I got one and it was in brand new condition and I also bought an Air Lens. The DAC deal has got to be the best deal anywhere near the price!
