What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
Great thread.I think maybe we have so many "past" speakers is we just had more fun when we were young, I know I did.I would say Silverline Sonatas. I had them for several years and they were very dynamic and easy to listen to. 
How many amps do you own?
I have 4 in use(2) NuPrime STA9 running monoAdcom 3-channel for the center and surroundsCrwn XLS2500 for the subs 
Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service
I am a Prime member but this would be my first time with any service. I have a nice DAC but need the software/ hardware(??) between like Bluesound as I've read.....not sure how to link the service to my DAC. Don't want to use a computer or phone/ ... 
Which would you pick between the two DAC.
I just bought one new off Agon for $1,000, a great deal. I compared it to the Bel Canto Dac 3 and NAD M51. It bested the Bel Canto in total output, finesse, and certainly bass. The NAD was really close but I preferred the warmer sound of the Wad... 
Wadia 321, anyone have experience with this DAC?

Re-wire of speakers to get more Warmth and resolve across the band
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will call Eric at Tekton to get his input too. 
Re-wire of speakers to get more Warmth and resolve across the band
Tekton Pendragos, as stated above.Yes interior re-wire.I like the speaker just seeking a little more warmth in the sound. I have placed them pretty much every which way, I have a dedicated room with treatments.Looking at the Furutech or kimbers lo... 
Definitive Technology Mythos 1
stereo5, which of their speakers doesn't have the sub, again I have that area taken care of and would like to have better speakers above 100hz or so than speakers with built in subs. 
Anyone know of used Camelot uther?
Yes, they are great sounding, vs. my Wadia 850 anyway. The Wadia had more bass, but the Uther was better in the midrange, a bit more refined. I have one hooked up to my DVD player for discs and Squeezebox for comp.I happen to have it for sale as a... 
Quality DAC with volume control - suggestions
Hey Brucebraun,I think Camelot has a 9v pre-out upgrade to the preamp section, which should boost your volume level, I listen most of the time with mine from 70-85, so still room left. Call to find out. 
Solid state amp/Tube Preamp. Possible?
I have actually had the Classe 400 with the BAT VK-3i and the match was excellent driving my older Mirage M3 speakers. I had the Odyssey Stratos with that system as well, and the sound was also excellent. The CDP was a Meridian, warmest most music... 
Would appreciate some recommendations.
ICE or class D amps on the bottom, cooler running, great power, would do the job well. 
Next Step Advice
I second the DAC. I heard the Wadia iTransport at CES through one of their own DACS, just as good as one of the players, which says a lot.
