Speakers for newbie
I'd check out the dynaudio excite line 
Dynaudio Audience 8
I don't know the Audience 8 but I've owned a lot of Dynaudio speaker all the way from the Audience 42 to the C4 and they've all been great probably most impressive of all was the Audience 42 which I paid something like 300 bucks for and was a seri... 
Anyone enjoy their amp's sound more than music?
I have 10,000 + albums and if you told me I could have for free the best stereo in the world and never get a new album I wouldn't take it 
New CD player or new external DAC ?
I'd say that depends on if you plan on possibly wanting to play back music from a computer in the near future. If you are happy putting discs in one at a time and playing that way then I personally would look for a used player that is major bang f... 
Help with a system for a guy into electronic music
Ignore that dumb response telling you buy pro gear. Hell I listen to tons of electronic music too, like that's a crime on here? No you should just listen to the same Patricia Barber track over and over again lol. I think the gear you picked looks ... 
Best speaker for the Spectral DMA 360 series 2 amp
One of the best sounds I've heard is spectral and watt puppy 7 it was at a trade show but wow what a clean sound. If you like a clean tight sound this is it. I have the same issues with bass in my room and had all kinds of big speakers in there an... 
Any experience with Focus Audio ?
I haven't heard the FC line not sure how it compares to the FS line? I had the FS 68SE. It's a great little speaker. I'd consider right in the middle not so bright not so laid back. It was very small but did great bass considering it's size. The f... 
just starting - mac vs. windows computer source?
Whoa I was looki g at your current player and that you want to add computer audio that is of similar quality. You are thinking a 500 DAC is going to compete with an 8000 CD player? I would think no matter what you will be highly disappointed with ... 
What amplifiers should I have for Dyn Temptation.
Boulder 1050 or 2050 I'd go with. 
Naim or Jeff Rowland?
If you want to keep it clean and all in one box then super uniti it is. Naim gear seems to get a lot of love hate where Rowland is more of a classic smooth hifi sound that's pretty hard not to like in some way. If you get the Rowland them you have... 
Can I use integrated as standalone pre and/or amp?
Also don't rule out the cable running from pre to amp as the culprit. You should be able to narrow it down with simple cable swapping as the above poster mentions. 
price point to move to separates vs integrated
I personally think you'd have to be in the 10k range to warrant separates. There are so many great sounding integrated amps these days it doesn't make much sense. My experience has led me to believe that you have to spend a pretty good chunk or mo... 
What should I upgrade next?
I don't like those speakers either so I would change those out. Plus they do seem the most dated of everything you have. If you love B&W then maybe the new diamond version which I have not heard.
