cornfedboy ; i have been trying to think of something to say about your post. first of all avalons are great speakers. it is to bad you chose jm labs to bash. as most people know focal ownes jm lab. the tweeter that goes in the utopia line is 900 ... 
Jm lab Electra 946
i heard the 936 recently, i think they have taken the new series to the next level. they are worth the extra jack. the 920s are very good but these are better. 
Rap music on high-end speakers
audiogon did not print my last reply, so you know what they say, if you dont have anything nice to say . anyway i like the old sugar hill gang, whoever did planet rock. and someother older rap, but i would not play it on a high end system. i have ... 
OPINIONS Best FULL RANGE used speaker for SS
802s i think are much better than 801s. 801s have to much bass. of course i would say buy some tubes . but since you have ss, the 802s will make you pretty happy. good luck . 
why are wilson speakers so highly regaurded.
thanks everyone for the responses. as for cornfedboy i have jm lab utopias. so i am not bashing wilson, just trying to figure out why the maxxes for instence are 40k and utopias 30k. why are the mezzos 14k and the 6.0s 20k. in all truth everything... 
Rap music on high-end speakers
if you really listen to rap then buy some cerwin vegas. dont they have woofers as big as a truck. i hope you do not live close to me. it is also true 801 b&ws will take your head off with bass. 
Is Sonic Frontier Power 3 worth buying & keeping?
i had the power 3s a couple of years ago. i traded them for cj 12s. the cjs were much warmer. as far as tubes vs ss i have micrex tube amps and a sonic frontiers sfl2 preamp for a video system. ss to me is good for subs not mids and highs. 
Bigger Amp?
as far as ss amps the amp you have is about as warm as ss gets. conrad johnson owns them now.[ great company] as far as tube mantinence, they are not hard to keep running if well built. if a ss amp wears out its outputs thats not cheap. if a tube ...

need amp advice
i would say throw the yamaha in the ocean and buy the two cj pieces that just showed up on audigon. i think the seller is telescope trader. i do not know who this is but i can tell you that would make you a nice little system. 
need a good 100 watt, 2 channel receiver
i would recomend maybe a harman kardon or maybe a denon. i would not rely on specs. that is just somthing to sell gear. i would not buy the yamaha. it sounds terrible. b&k ,denon maybe the onkyo. the hifi of yesterday still beats some high end... 
Is a Harmon Kardon 825 and 870 worth selling?
i hear ya john. i have a little 870 laying around as well. it is a good little amp. the preamp i dont know , but i bet it sounds ok. hell put it in a little video system. or throw it in a ring and jvia and i will fight for it. 
Question about different tubes
try the sound lab dynastats.also get the bat tube amp.
