How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?
Don't  forget to cryo the bulbs for more luminescence.  
Blue Jeans Cable Sound Good???
In my speaker the entire system sits in the top like a can, from the binding posts at the bottom to those cans is basic 12 guage wire , there is also a 4 prong metal connector between . I fail to see how anything more than a basic 12 guage speaker...

You need a dedicated outlet and breaker for each light.  
Blue Jeans Cable Sound Good???
I use Blue Jeans speaker cables ,   canare star quad. I don't  see how they could be a detriment  since the wire inside the speakers is basic 12 guage copper, a good 3 feet of it so why would the 5 feet between that and the amp need to be anything...

Which Has Best Sound Quality -- CD vs. Tidal vs. FLAC Uploaded From Burned CD
I suppose it was being on wireless that made the difference. I got my wire installed today and I can’t tell a difference between CD and the ripped WAV which is how I thought it should be. Some might argue being wireless shouldn’t matter but to me ...

To me CD and Tidal are very close don't  know  if I  could  tell in a blind test. My ripped CD's  to WAV don't  sound quite  as  good.  All go through the same DAC.  
Image/soundstage and punch/bass
I like  my Ohm 2000's  never heard Maggies so can't  offer a comparison.  The woofer faces down on the Ohm you can feel it in the floor when you get them turned up a bit if you're  not  on a slab.  
Which Integrated with Power,Current, and Bass
I had a 225 I  used with B & W 804 for years never lacked for power with them also  used it with paradigm 85f which were more sensitive , drove those with ease. I sold it wanting  to go with some tubes. Only problem I  had was the amp started ...
