Naim or Jeff Rowland?
If you want to keep it clean and all in one box then super uniti it is. Naim gear seems to get a lot of love hate where Rowland is more of a classic smooth hifi sound that's pretty hard not to like in some way. If you get the Rowland them you have... 
Can I use integrated as standalone pre and/or amp?
Also don't rule out the cable running from pre to amp as the culprit. You should be able to narrow it down with simple cable swapping as the above poster mentions. 
price point to move to separates vs integrated
I personally think you'd have to be in the 10k range to warrant separates. There are so many great sounding integrated amps these days it doesn't make much sense. My experience has led me to believe that you have to spend a pretty good chunk or mo... 
What should I upgrade next?
I don't like those speakers either so I would change those out. Plus they do seem the most dated of everything you have. If you love B&W then maybe the new diamond version which I have not heard. 
Recs for Cheap Integrated Amp?

Is Tom Evans Audio Design out of business?
There is no excuse for this crap. No wonder he is out of business. I won't be buying any Tom Evans stuff thanks for the heads up. 
Is the Bryston BDP-1 worth $$$ over Apple TV
I think the apple TVs sound pretty great. I don't see the need for the BDA 1 I'd just get a Mac mini instead it away cheaper and a lot more versatile. The synchro mesh is very interesting too. For 99 bucks though its not to risky to try an Apple T... 
Int amp and Dynaudios
I have used various dynaudio speakers audience 42, contour 2.5 and C4 with the Outlaw 2150 (not good at all) Creek Destiny and Sim Audio i5.3. I think the simaudio suits the dynaudios the best of the bunch though the destiny is not far behind. I w... 
I wanna rock -- with monitors on stands
I also recommend the dynaudios for what you are looking for. Proacs are not my cup of tea and dynaudio is. I have the C4s and they rock for sure. The amount or sound that will come out of a pair or C1s will surprise and I think your amp is up to t... 
Help me pick some speakers
I'd say dynaudio as well will serve you well. Also revel M20s are a great speaker that is very well made and is a great used value. Really any model dynaudio would work great that you can find in your range. Not sure how they mate to your amp but ... 
Oppo Customer Service Review
I was equally amazed when I sent in my BD83 for repair. I sent it on a Tuesday and had it back on a Thursday. I had to pay a flat fee that seemed reasonable. The quickness of their service was amazing. Unfortunately for me all 3 Oppo players I've ... 
Magnepan 20 vs Sanders 10c
I've owned both the Innersound Eros 3.5 and the Maggie 3.6 so I might have a little insight. I prefer the sanders speaker for the same reasons as the poster above. I will add and to me this was of major importance the sanders speakers only sound g... 
Proac Super Tablette
I had a set of tablettes and really liked them. I had a few other Proacs and the tablettes were not of the proac house sound. The were different. They had a good vibe and I thought they made great sound for the 500 or so I paid used. Personally th... 
Improving sound quality of streaming setup
Def need a DAC. I've not tried a reclocker so I can't comment on that but taking the optical signal from the airport express into a good DAC would make a big improvement the airport express sounds horrible via analog out in my opinion. 
Streaming music thru Apple TV or digital player
I was looking at the empirical audio reclocker. It has a money back for 30 days guarantee.
