Jantzen Wax Coil or Mundorf M-Coil CFC
Iron core inductors are best for the woofers due to the lower dc resistance. Airs for the high-end.  
Thumping noise
If this is a serious post, then I believe something has come loose. Check all screws and if that does not help open it up and look for something within the cabinet. Be very careful not to touch anything electrical until you discharge the electroly...

ebm - Literally laughed out loud.🤣  
Anyone replace ceramic caps with film?
I have been using WIMA caps when space permits, don’t think they are "audio" grade, but very good. OR silver mica? https://www.mouser.com/c/?q=220%20pf%20wima  
SVS PB16 Ultra vs JL Fathom 113 vs ???
Just a question; Isn't SPL (output) related to air movement? With a minimum of 3 inches of cone travel and very large surface area, they move a lot of air. Am I missing something?🙃  
Burson Composer 3xp opamp rolling
I've rolled opamps in CD players and electronic crossovers. Not tried it in my dac. They do make a considerable difference in my equipment. Good luck.

BiAmp Focal Kanta 2 speakers with 1 set of posts.
I doubt you'll have a problem using the Primaluna in a bi-amp configuration. I would horizontal bi-amp rather than vertical. I'd buy a more powerful amp for the low-end and use the prima on the high-end. Don't forget a good active crossover. Also ... 
Everest dd 66000 speakers
Congratulations. A good tube amp would be fine, but they are too much of a pain for me, I'm a SS guy, Happy listen on whatever you choose.   
About users with hidden agendas
My agenda, to get more people to try multi-amping with an active crossover.  
Svs, Rel, or ?.
All subs I've tried sound better using the low level inputs. Have you thought about JL Audio?  
MIT Magnum MA vs Oracle Matrix HD90 Rev 1 vs Oracle V4 Speaker cables
I like all the MIT cables I've tried, but not compared them specifically to Oracle. To me "warm" is not accurate.  
Mark Levinson Amps startup & shutdown operation. Specifically 532H but really any ML amp
Not had any Mark Levinson amps, but doesn't sound normal to me. I always turn the power amps on last.  
Protection needed for amp?
+1 carlsbad for explanation. I do have surge protection for my equipment, but then I've doubled to 5X the filter cap capacity in virtually all of my equipment (not just the power amps). Class D subs don't go into the surge protector.
