Meridian 508.24 or Levinson 39 ?
The Resolution Audio CD 55 is every bit as good as the 39 for half the price. I've owned them both.  
which cd player class A to use straight into amp
Resolution Audio CD55 
Kharma 1.0/ Talon Khorus/Watt Puppy 6 or Sonata?
I'd even suggest looking for a used pair of Von Schweikert VR6'sAt 96db they would be a full range speaker your amps will make singYou will have a tough time finding a pair, they don't show up that oftenI've tried all the speakers you have listed ... 
Nordost Valhalla vs. Acoustic Zen
I've tried both. I own the Vallhalla's. Don't you just hate when a product that insanely expensive is jusifiably that much better than the competition. 
Anyone ever heard/try Maggies hooked up to Pass amp?
I had that combination at one timeLean bottom end rolled off dynamics on the high endThe Maggies sounded much better with the Lamm 2.1 monoblocks 
Running a CD player directly into power amps,
If you buy either a new Resolution Audio CD55 or better yet a used CD50 you will never go back to a pre amp. I run my 50 direct to my Lamm 1.1's. I have tried many different combos of high end CD players and pre amps. I'd have to spend $20K to eve... 
Arcam FMJ 23/CD92 versus Resolution Audio CD50
The CD 50 is still the best one box player IMOMy brother in law has the ArcamIt is not even in the same league as the Resolution AudioEspecially when you run it direct to amp 
Amp suggestion for Talon Khorus
Lamm 1.1 monoblocks 
Pick one:Shunyata Hydra or PS Audio
I sold all my P300's and replaced them with the HydraEverything is better with the HydraEspecially since it can handle having my amps run through itMuch deeper soundstage, better low volume resolution, more AIR, jet black background. 
kimber select 3033 speakercable?
Light years better 
Best Balanced Cable for Electrocompaniet
The Electrocompaniet room at the CES was using Nordost Quattro-filSounded damn good, I thought it was one of the best rooms at the show 
Any advise to improve my system
My next move would be to try Nordost SPM Reference speaker cableI think the Monsters are not up to the quality of the rest of your system 
Why not PS Audio's Lab cables?
I use these power cords on my Lamm monoblocksThey are great and i think a great value for what you can get them for used 
Will Lamm amps drive power hungry speake
I suggest you audition the Lamm 2.1'sThey will drive anything and IMO more musical than the RowlandsOf course you are now comparing Ferrari's with Lamborghini'sThey are both great products 
Trivia: 1st Lennon-McCartney song in US?
