Speaker suggestions
My next speakers to hunt down are the Dali Zensors - try to hear them before buying any speakers though. They have clear sounding woofer and pleasantly transparent highs...They are Danish speakers - don't know where they are actually made, but the... 
Surprised at this Chinese powered speakers for peanuts...
   I completely agree with you Garcia...They are bi-amp-ed while the Audio Engines are not so treble sounds better to me, although Audio Engines are good too. I am glad they are working out for you...that's why I shared the info for others to try.... 
Home Theater System (Speakers)
If you don't mind used, you can get a used Krell 5.1 processor for $500 off ebay these days, and it sounds better than getting a surround receiver as you know.   For speakers, I like Dali Zensors - I wouldn't say they are the next level up from yo... 
Good starter speaker
I would recommend you to skip the entry level speakers and go right to the next level up, as they will give you more liquid smooth sound with transparent highs (pleasant treble). Among the ones you mentioned, my favorite are the spendor, but then ...

Bluetooth Digital output to Lexicon MC-1 Pre-Pro
   As I understand it, Bluetooth degrades the sound - would this help?https://www.amazon.com/J-Tech-Digital-Extractor-Converter-Support/dp/B00YHS5E6Q/ref=pd_cp_23_1?pd_rd...

DavidAntonio,Sorry for my mix up-the optical input is on the more economical model R1280DB - they are not bi-amped by the way, so less highs, but they too sound decent - Amazon choice speakers. 
Ohm Walsh 4s worth looking into ???
I enjoyed mine for their warm sound, although I too agree with the previous poster as them not being high level audiophile - still very enjoyable presentation. Let your ears be the final judge when it comes to matters of speakers... 
Looking for new speakers
Have you heard Dali speakers?My next speakers...You can sort of get the idea of their clear mid due to wooden woofer and transparent highs on youtube...Search for Dali speakers sound test. 
New speakers or new amp - your thoughts
You already have a nice system, so how about a power conditioner?Even a modest oneac from eBay would help to protect the electronics and improve the sound (bigger one the better for smoother sound)When you do upgrade, make sure it's enough of upgr... 
Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
Yes a sub warms up the sound...I love my 2.1 setup with Velodyn sub. You won't be disappointed with a good setup.Does your pre have a sub out? 
Which Amp to complete my system?
I like the sound of this super affordable receiver - cambridge audio sr-20 with that classic British sound... You can get a refurbished one for $327 including shipping on ebay these days (not affliated with the seller). Youtube it and with headpho...

Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed?
If you live in the State where medicated marijuana is legal, go that path - it's cheaper and better for your health I heard, and it's safer when you go to get it. On the audio side, have you considered spinning plastic (Turn table)? I had 2 TTs an...
