How to fix my preamp dilemma
What are you using for a source?

Ground the sub panel to the main which is grounded to earth.  
Main vs. sub panel for dedicated lines
Thanks! I am currently away from home and will return by end of the month. I will have my electrician help me install the sub panel. I will use it for my audio system. I will get back to everyone once this has been accomplished.  
Calling for recommendations: Speakers for a very lively room
True the STA200 would not be a good match with the Maggies.  Not a amp for low impedance speakers. 
Balancing sound to sharpen dialogue?
Try speaker placement options 1st. Then might try a Schiit Loki. It is a 4 band equalizer. Can help with taming the lower bass and boost mid frequencies. If you have record in/out jacks can be switch in and out of signal path using monitor button.

What is the best amplifier pairing for Monitor Audio Bronze 500 speakers?
Two channel audio can work great for video. I concur with Yogi that the Yamaha A-S701 would pair well for you. I own one for a secondary system with speakers having specs close to yours. The A-S801 has the same pre/amp section paired with a differ... 
Main vs. sub panel for dedicated lines
Riley, thanks for the link. MC, the sub panel is run off the main by a dedicated 240 2-phase line. If I have 3 lines run back to either the sub or main panel each tied to it's own breaker then I have 3 dedicated lines to my system do I not?
