Newbie looking for advice...
If it were me, I would opt to change my components to get the sound you want. Look at a Jolida tube integrated amp-60 watts per channel and a nice turntable. I would look at a Sota Comet, Rega P3, MMF 5.1 which are all nice options, plus a flexibl... 
What Amp to drive Apogee Centaur Majors?
Go with a McCormack DNA 1 if possible, but a DNA .5 will sound sweet too.

I had the MOnors and got good results using Aragon amp and a McCormack DNA. 
Most significant upgrade
i think source is the best upgrade.

I think a new(er) NAD integrated, a BEE series, would be a nice upgrade. Plus a newer BEE has input for ipod source. I would go for more power too. Or consider if your turntable needs a new cartridge. 
modest towers with high WAF for living room?
Perhaps the Usher 6311...Nice design, various color choices and finish, and musical sound that can play loud and deep.

Vincent and Rogue should be considered too. 
Best Rock Album in 2011
There is still alot of time left in 2011, but so far I like albums from Adele, Decemberists and Social D. 
Best format for SteelyDan...
I have heard alot of Steeley Dan recordings, and IMO Katy Lied on MFSL is the best of their recordings.

I used a SOTA clamp with good results. 
Best TT for the buck?
Get a new MMF 2.1 or whatever there entry table is...

Mccormack DNA-1 pre-amp & interconct recomd 1,300
I had a McCormack ADL and DNA .5 and loved it-very flexible and great sound. Plus, Steve is around to do upgrades if you want and the matched set looks cool too. Cheers 
Best amplifier and preamp for klipsch heresy 3
