Puunda,
one thing that Amati's are famous for are the Midrange!
IMHO you should get 1) Tube preamp, caryslp05 mentioned before is a good choice among others and 2) Yter speaker cable made from Sonus's master Franco Serblin. Then experiment with the room and placement a bit. Finally in the future if you can upgrade to a better digital source.
As for the Ursa major you mentioned, theese are by far dark, veiled, hollow sound speakers very romantic and a good match with razor solid state amplifiers on the other hand Amati is hall of fame speaker for life (IMHO).
So the message is ----> fine tune them a bit and good matching, start with the pre unless you use your theta processor as pre then upgrade to tube amplifier(Cary 211, Bat, CJ,....etc).
