What is the best way to add subs in my system?
Well, this is where I ended up: a Bryston 10B active sub and two JL Audio Dominion d108's. I'll have them installed next week!

Fabulous information, all! I just glanced over the thoughtful responses now while on a quick work break but I'll read and look them over more closely later today!Thanks again.... 
Best near wall high end speaker
The sealed ATC SCM 19's are the speaker I chose for the exact same reason. Lots of reviews on them. They aren't floorstanders, but they do sound great in my system just inches from the wall. 
Recs for solid state integrated, $2-3,000 range
The new Parasound Integrated would be a great choice. I've owned many Parasound products and am always impressed with the sound. My extremely revealing ATC SCM'19's prove how smooth yet powerful my Parasound Halo A21 is.In any event, many good cho... 
Best Integrated, period.
Jerryrocks, No I have not, but I've used my L-550AX with a pair of ATC SCM 19's with sublime results. The ATC's are very low in sensitivity, but the Lux drives them with aplomb. 
Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do?
I put my self on the waiting list as soon as I read that Tidal was coming to the US, and signed up on day one. I love it too; a great way to discover music and the sound is lovely through a little Parasound ZDAC from a MacBook Pro. 
Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers
I own a pair of the SCM 19's and am in love with the gorgeous sound. My system is posted here in the Virtual Systems, but since then I've hooked them up directly to a Luxman L-550ax integrated that is rated at only 20 watts/channel. Yeah, the Lux ... 
How much does your system retail for?
$18,500 not including the TV! Don't regret a penny. 
Would this sound good
I can vouch for the Cambridge gear, I've always slightly favored it over similarly specced NAD equipment. 
CD vs internet and DAC
Hello Sarge, I've been streaming Tidal through a decent USB cable from a MacBook Pro, then to a Parasound ZDAC, then from its balanced outs to a Luxman L-550ax integrated. CD's play from an Oppo BDP 103. The Oppo is great but not maybe comparable ... 
Maximizing My Turntable Experience - input reqeust
Congratulations on your wise choice! I just love my set-up, one that has evolved somewhat, but one of my most important purchases after buying an entry-level 'table was a Spin Clean record washer, and a big pack of nice quality record sleeves. The... 
Best Integrated, period.
I've had decent gear for many years; integrateds from NAD, Cambridge and even a pretty good Topping for a zone amp. But a few months ago I purchased an integrated here on Audiogon which has given me a real taste of the high end: a Luxman L500-AX. ... 
Got big amp-help with 20A line and receptacle
What I did in a similar situation was to run 8 AWG wire DIRECT from the breaker to a Wattgate IEC plug and into the amp. I seem to be blessed with good quiet power here; I know what to turn off when I sit down to really listen to music and haven't... 
Cartridge, Phono Preamp Hum
I just installed the same cart in my set up with no hum. Try borrowing another phono-preamp to see if that's the problem...Best,Oran 
What is the best way to replace a blown sub amp?
Insured, yes...but the deductible is ten grand. Repairs look like they will come in at about four.
