Need speaker advice
I own the Tannoy Sterlings. Auditioned them with the Luxman integrated. A great match. I would purchase the Luxman however don't need the phonostage.  
Pass Labs vs. Sugden
Yes, with the Treo makes one wonder about the size of the room.  
A system for my college-bound daughter
Might check into the PS Audio SProut. Small integrated amp with DAC and phonostage. Small bookshelf speakers.  
What's your investment threshold?
Well I find it hard to invest more than 10% of the cost of two components for a cable to connect them. Often can be done for quite less. It is more about how the cable compliments the two components than the price.

Often concrete floors are not level, have low spots. I would buy butcher block cut to size and add spikes that can be adjusted for leveling. Maybe stands could be bolted to the butcher block. 
Yamaha vs Rotel
I agree the Yammy would be a bit warmer and likely mate better with your DALI speakers. 
Sharing a subwoofer with 2CH and HTs rigs!
Flynnrd, I understand.  
Devores and Omegas - input please

Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required?
Well, I am truly in need of more education. My room treatment cost less then 0.5K 
DAC for carousel cd player?
Yes soix made a good point. I have (had) several of the entry level Schiit products and found them to be very competent at their price point.  Have not explored the Modius however.  
Sharing a subwoofer with 2CH and HTs rigs!
I hope others will chime in on possible problem with use of a switch box. I would think any quality one completely isolates inputs. I doubt one would want one's sub to receive signal from two preamp outputs at the same time. The issue differs betw...
