Mcintosh sound
I very much echo Bongofury's comments. Let me say upfront that I have a lot of respect for Mac gear.From your comments I gather you are a person looking to buy components for the long run. Hence let me strongly urge you to consider Mac. I feel one... 
AES-3 MKII
Highly recommend. Owned one of the non DJH versions. Though I simply love my Supratek Chardonnay, for the price this pre is sooo good. Good luck! 
the best 2a3
I too own & love the Shuguang 2A3C. Looks more like a 300B. 
Do McIntosh amps work best with McIntosh pres?
I used my Mac amp with a Supratek Chardonnay (wonderful pre). I still own the Chrdonnay but have reason to believe the Mac pre's have a certain synergy with their amps. This sort of completes the whole Mac sound. Yet to hear a Mac CDP in the same ... 
Lexicon RV8 vs McIntosh MHT200: best for 2 chnl?
Haven't heard the Lexicon but the Mac sounds great. I own a MHT100 with a MC252 for the fronts in my HT. I feel the MHT's are hidden gems in the HT & Mac world. Also the movies sound 'excellent' without any grit or harshness. You will not feel...

Klipschorn with Tube Amps
You are fortunate to own a pair! One of my friends have the klipschorns and I love them. I own Mauhorns with Lowther drivers + sub. The Lowthers got a bit more texture but canno't match the Khorns for absolute believability. Another thing I like i... 
I want an inexpensive chinese tube power or integr
Check out DARED AUDIO as well. Very well made. 
Mcintosh MC252 vs. MC402
Comparison would very much depend on your speaker requirements. That said,I agree with Aball's comments with the exception of the looks, my prerefence being the shorter MC252. They are similar in proportion to the MC501's & easier to manage.I ... 
Linn LK140+Kolektor with B&W CM1?
I have owned Kolktor+LK85 before but not with B&W. They are quite nice. I would urge you to look at a McIntosh Integrated as well. Good luck! 
Subwoofer tweaks
Place the sub on a granite block & another on top of the sub maybe cut to the size of the sub. This will certainly impore tightness & definition.
