Electro Statics for rears only?
I don't know how good a match it will make. I do know from being a longtime owner of stats that the previous answer is blatantly wrong. I would argue the Scripts would not be a good match because they are overkill compared to the Paradigms.I also ... 
ASL integrated vs. monoblocks? low end
Try Van Alstine or Musical Concepts. 
Why Do Martin Logan Speakers Lack Dynamic Energy?
I would really like to hear the answers to this one.I would say that some of the models lack mibass slam. I have also noticed that this is a function of amp. Even the CLS which is a pure Electrostatic has bass slam but only under very limited cond... 
Best subwoofer hookup?
I don't know the Velodyne hook-ups. The subs I have allow pre-out and speaker level. Pre-out always seems to be the cleanest sounding and allows the best control. 
Amp's to mate with Martin Logan Prodigy speaker's
Odyssey amps, Bigger ARC's, Spectral, Levisnson's all seem to shine with these speakers. 
Subwoofers?
I agree with Plato. I don't know your sub, however, I have mated ML with a genesis sub. It may be that to get an optimum mix there are four things you should try. 1. Lower the crossover point. 2. Check to see if the crossover slope can be changed ... 
100w class A or 200 w class AB ????
Hey Bombawalla, excellent critique. 
Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'??
Well folks, I am in the same boat. I have a Linn LP12 and and vintage Teac tn400. The Linn has an Ittok arm with a Sumiko Blue point special and the Teac has a Stax with a Supex 900. They sound different but they don't sound twenty years worth of ... 
Anyone heard the Micro Seiki DDX1000?
I have an old Teac TN400 which was the contemporary of the DDX1000. The Teac sounded better but it is even rarer than the DDX. The big deal with the DDX was that it took three arms. The few people that I remember owning them had put sorbothane foo... 
Adcom 710 2 ch peramp vs 565 worth upgrade?
I don't personally know but I asked a local store that was an Adcom dealer your question approximately six months ago. He said the 565 was the better preamp. 
Infinity Kappa 9's Tweaks?
As a current Kappa 8 owner everyone is giving you good advice. These speakers should not be used with Monster cable bi-wire. They just sound awful. However, they do work well with MIT cable, Slima cable and the old Tara Time and Space. These speak... 
Amps for ESL
I haven't heard the Classe 301. I have heard wonderful things about Classe and Innersound amps in general with stats. Have you considered Quad's own amps or Odyssey or Spectral. My experience with driving stat panels is that the amps need to be ex... 
Pass Aleph P vs L preamp ?
There was an article back in one of the now defunct magazines that spoke about the differences in the two. The P was clearly in a different league. 
Odyssey mono question
Thank for your response. I am waiting with baited breath. 
Supex 900
Thank you both for your help. You were right on the money. I Musical Fidelity phono pre and it works very well.
