PS Audio BHK signature preamp
Another Amp first vote. DAC second. But please consider that they are now ah days many fine intergrateds. The Accuphase E-4000 180W/ch Integrated Stereo Amplifier Comes to mind. New/Used. The sterophile list has all sorts in every price range.

Yes if your budget permits Grimm MU1 or MU2. Wow.   
Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
Another voice in cyberspace that says be nice. Maybe talk about toe in if pressed. KISS. If sincerely asked what they might do, that’s a different story. If they get the bug the rest might follow.   
Reliability - what’s your experience been?
Me. Heading loss. Can’t send bavk!  
Sub suggestions please
Two subs is good subs. Read why on other threads.

Correction. I first took CD’s and ripped ‘em to flac. Flac files now on streamer on a SSD disk. I’m usung Roon.    Search these fora and you will find great in depth information.

Back when I said streaming was secondary too. The CD’s are now boxed up. Just saying.   
Favorite mid-tier streamer
Lot's to choose from new or used but will you ever or do you use Roon? Maybe get one that will work with Roon to future proof (Most do). Many inexpensive and expensive streamers benefit from an upgraded PSU.    
Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update
Here's this too (see newspaper link) and here's a documentary.  
Qobuz and Tidal comparison
Qobuz via Roon preferred and used. So many high res tracks/albums too. Drop out(s) likely are due to bandwidth (buffering) not the apps. Do some steamers buffer better than others would be a good thing to know?

Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp
Yes......What is your budget? (add more!)  300B push-pull amps hard to beat.  Maybe first add a pair of subs to yr. Cornwalls. As others have said maybe a speaker upgrade but the subs w/ the Cornwalls would be a whole new ballgame. Some great br... 
Looking for my End Game Speaker
And on the other side of fast please don’t rule out horns like Tannoy. Maybe keep the A3’s and treat room? If your a Magico man, then maybe Focals? But but but Sonus Fabers could be the ticket?
