Any experience on McIntosh Amp with B&W Speakers
BM speakers, to my ear, have very agressive treble. I would choose an amplifer, which do not expose treble as it would be fatiguing on the long term with much of the cds you probably have. Mcintosh seems to be a good choice. 
Buying brand new unheard equipment.
There are so many use one, at about half price...And if you dont like you could get rid of without too much loss, if any. 
Dynaudio Confidence C4
I have heard the C4 driven by Ovtave 80 watt tube amplifier. If you play jazz, chamber music at a relatively low volume you get a nice sound. But if you try Beethoven, you immediately realise that some of the music is simply lost. 
Which headphones are comfortable?
AKG 501 even better and very comfortable. 
Please compare the following headphones
Try AKG 501. Very nice natural sound. Cheaper than 600, and I think it has less coloration. 
CD players with variable output/volume control

Any Levinson 390s Level Players, But At Less Cost?

DYNAUDIO EXPERTS Pro line vs Home Audio line
I would go for confidence line. A confidence C3 or C1 would represent a real upgrade compared to 1.3. 
Krell KSA80B with Sonus Faber Concerto Home....
Which one you have already? I gues the Krell, reading your earlier threads. If yes, I would think twice before buying SF concerto home. I have heard it with various amplifaction (MF Trivista, Krell KAV pre-power combo, MF 308) and I was not at all... 
Classical music - starting points
An opera with the booklet in your hand. Like, Simone Boccanegra-Verdi, Carmen-Bizet, Norma-Bellini, Orfeo-Monterverdi, Figaro-Mozart, etc. How the story is underpinned with music, emotions expressed and drama played is helps you to understand and ... 
Signalcabel silver power cord vs Nordost Vishnu ?
Vishnu: typical Nordost. Quick, transparent, but upward coloration of the soundprint. 
Speaker Choice for Pathos Classic One
I have heard it with Zingali monitor speaker (overture?1 or 2s). Wonderful combination. Also nice with sonus faber cremona auditor. But, I liked better with the Zingali. Italian amplifier, would have a nice sinergy with an italian speaker. 
Cables for Thiel CS6
Siltech LS288 Gold is a great match.
