I don't have a 1070, so I won't comment on the sound quality (although I believe there are some other Ascend speaker users around here who may have some useful information). The Ascends in a small room ought to get plenty of power from the 1070, and you could easily connect all of the sources you mention (plus a few more) through the 1070. The remote does allow you to control the tuner - in fact, you can scroll through presets or directly type in a specific frequency in addition to scrolling up and down the dial. If you haven't done so already, you might want to download the manual from the 1070 product page and skim through it - Outlaw provides well-written manuals for their products.
