Inexpensive Tube Pre?
Can't say anything about the Jolida - but the Dared SL2000a can be quite good with the right tubes. 
Speakers than can run 2 different amps
there has been an abundance of discussion on biamping here on A'gon. Search the archives and you'll find most of what you need. 
Speakers than can run 2 different amps
most speakers made today separate mid/high and woofer connections - enabling biwiring or passive biamping (which is what you want to do). Setting up such a configuration (tube on hi, ss on low, requires that your amps be able to balance the gain s... 
Best Compact Floorstanders?
I agree with your assessment. I also agree with Wescoman - used Totem Sttaf's are a fantastic value. They are great speakers with solid bass beyond anything in their class. 
which king crimson
I have Nightwatch and it's incredible. Excellent fidelity, performance, everything . . . 
How many still listen to CD's daily.

new Led Zeppelin album due out late 2012
If that's a legitimate sample, I'm looking forward to its release. I like it and don't need them to to release copies of their earlier stuff. I am pretty sure that is Robert Plant's voice - sounds like him in his contemporary releases (eg Raising ... 
MARTIN LOGAN TRIPLES THEIR PANEL REPLACEMENT

The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned?

too many words for my taste . . . 
Quietest fan for room
thanks Pat - I'm doing good. Hope you are too. One of these days maybe A'gon will permit private emails between members again. Until then you can reach me via private message over on Audio Asylum - same user name. 
Quietest fan for room
hey Pat - is that fan super quiet? Look like it's just what I'm seeking.A lot of these fans generate a good deal or motor noise on slow speed, and a good deal of fan noise on high speed. 
Need an inexpensive phono stage
I had the Bellari, and have a V-LPS. The V-LPS is so much better, and totally trouble free - which you can't say about the Bellari. The V-LPS is also switchable between MM and MC. 
A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread
I plan to make it . . . but may only be able to hit Fri afternoon for an hour or 2. Last time I went it didn't seem everything really got going the first day - though there were a couple of very good exhibits. 
Bob Welch RIP
Sad indeed. I always thought Fleetwood Mac went to hell after Bob Welch left.
