Tubes plus SS
if i had to run half and half. i sure hope that something amp or preamp would contain tubes. conrad would be a good match to tame the krell if that is the amp you plan to keep. 
Help needed.
buy the cj and laugh all the way home. it will be a great little preamp for you. also why not try a tube amp as well. you will be hooked for sure then. you also do not need near as much power when you run tubes vs ss. welcome aboard. 
adcom gfa 555 vs 555 II
i still think for the 300 extra you spent moding the adcom.why not buy a better amp. that puts you in the 700 to 800 dollar range. their are a lot of amps in that range . you can almost buy a krell kst 100 in that range. i have seen them as cheap ...

Two systems? Why?
yes ed the 930 is a car. i have 2 cars one 91 911 turbo and an 85 928s . i love cars as much as stereo, but that hobby can get even more out of hand than audio, because of mantenince and tire wear, etc. i bet you have alot of fun running on the tr... 
Martin Logan CLS 11Z speakers + which power amp?
buy sound labs and run all tubes. otherwise still run all tubes. 
adcom gfa 555 vs 555 II
buy a used chiro c-200. much better amp than either one. i had both the mk1 and 2 recently and the chiro killed them both in every way. but if you must go with adcom, i think the sereis one was smoother myself. compareing the chiro to the adcoms ,... 
what is the best sub amp.
i like movies from casablanca , to gone with the wind, gladiator, and the list goes on. i liked 3000 miles to graceland. you have to take it for what it is. it is dark but funny. everybody has opinons. that is why their are 33 flavors of ice cream... 
what is the best sub amp.
last time i checked the 4719 was pro, not home audio. the qsc is a great choice i agree. i do not think it will beat the crown though. i was hopeing to pick up a krell 250 , or 200s or 300s, maybe but it looks like my crown on auction is not movin... 
Krell 65M's VS Krell audio Standards
i still say open up a audio standard, then open up the 650 monos. open up a ksa 250 or 300s then look at the 300 fpb. the filter caps went from the coke can size to the finger nail size. now was this to save money? i am not trying to beat up krell... 
Best speaker for medium to low power tube amps??
i like the jm lab electa series. the older ones are cheap now and sound awsome. the sonus you mentioned are great speakers as well. 
Hi-Fi and Pro equip. like Mackie, Stewart or JBL
pro gear sounds good in a large room. most high end audio will fall on it's face trying to fill that large of a room. jbl srs with a good amp are a bargin, hell i am running sr 4732s and a 4719 sub in my theater. tubes on top crown macro reference...

Help with an Amp in the 1500 ballpark used
