Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap?
Following through with this mentality you should maybe think about other items that would also be affected. Why just the TV ? Don't stop there. Get a new refridgerator, dishwasher, washer/drier, AC units, new car.  Furniture is way more expensive ... 
Help! Pre amp turning on by itself.
I have the same problem with 'Harvey' the invisible rabbit. He is such a rascal.  
What do you listen to?
Most of my time, 99% is spent exploring new music. My favorites list is always changing. I also look for well recorded albums along the way.  
Powered Speaker Approach
Congrats. Glad you're happy! In a room of that size 40'x17' I would think the bass is lacking. Can't imagine a 5" woofer doing the job. I did a pair of powered Swan MKII for my brother-in-law and it was incredibly good. When we added the subwoof...

What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles
I make a famous meatloaf for the kids called "Face loaf". A human head with a carrot nose, olive eye balls, apple skin for lips and eye brows. Then a red tomato gravy for a bloody face effect is always a hit. There is NO bad meatloaf. Some are be...

@skyscraper #1 Band Maid Have followed them for a while. Incredible hard driving sound. Love it. THIS makes me want to turn it up louder!! Also listen to Zepperella, a Zepplin tribute band. Great guitar work from the grand master of rock, Jimmy ... 
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
@davetheoilguy +1 here.  Never understood how he is famous.   He was a great performer with alot of energy into his performance. His guitar was mostly used as a prop to sell the image. The selling point was his message was to an audience of mo... 
Does loudness play a part in your appreciation?
Around 70/75db  seems to be a sweet spot. Appropriatley loud for most music. The lower it is the less resolution. Turning down the volume knob is like stepping down on the brake pedal. Less of everything. Low level listening is ok for background l...

How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room?
Small room = small speakers Big room = big speakers A 12 x 11 room with big floor standers is a miss match. Plus you listen at "fairly low volume"  levels so there's no need for adding bigger/more. All speakers have a level of volume they requir... 
Gain level on a REL sub
You could be sitting in a null. A larger sub will still have the null.  Also, move the sub around. Including into the corner. Try the sub right behind your seat. Small rooms can be problamatic.
