Speaker Cable Advice Needed
You might give solid core wire a try.Haven't had the pleasure of hearing your combo so can't make a specific recommendation.Depends what sound you are trying to achieve,more or less detail,more or less dynamics,etc. 
I don't like the sound of my system. Help please.
I would start auditioning amps.A good ss amp that will double it's power into 4ohms will wake up your system.If you go with a used unit,read many reviews first.You can always resell and move on.If you buy new,just make sure you can return it in 30... 
Listening Room Art Work
I also have music themed posters,a few signed hand bills, and framed albums.Looks good and creates a good vibe IMO.A friend of mine stapled decorator fabric over his wooden framed room treatments and it looks great also.

Damping sheets work
I had the same bad experience damping the top of my cdp.I wonder if the sheets would work better on the bottom.Anybody? 
tube dac
Yes!I ventured into tubes first with a preamp, then added a cdp,and stuck with a ss amp.Adding another tubed component was a huge step towards the illusion of the "artists in the room." You'll have to audition that Havana and see if you agree.Good... 
Intermittent bass
Just a guess,since I never had that problem.The first thing that comes to mind is a bad connection.Since you biwire,I would play some bass heavy music and wiggle the cable at the binding posts on your speakers.One of the posts may be bad,the cable...
