Subwoofer Recommendations
I recommend one of the REL subs. They will blend in very well with your JBL L100 Classic speakers. 
Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice!
If I get a response of "old school" and they want a cashier's check or money order, that terminates the sale as far as I'm concerned. If I don't feel right about it, then it's not right for me, although the person selling might be an honest person... 
L590axii and KEF Reference one
I own the 590 AXII and believe your dealer is correct. I've powered speakers with lower than 89dB with no problem. If your dealer carries both can't you go there for a demo and see if it's to your liking? 
Need a new amp
Which modle Golden Ear Triton Reference do you own? 
AC outlets
I preferred the musical sound of the ACME ac outlet over the Mastro outlet. Sounded more natural and in my opinion holds up better regarding plugging in and out repeatedly.With that said I have many Furutech GTX-D NCR(R) that I like best.

Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members!
When making changes to your system, make one change at a time and allow days or weeks between changes to really evaluate what you hear. 
PC manufacturers?
I agree with the comment that it's a personal preference. Many look at various power cords as tunning devices to achieve the sound that the listener is looking for, it's not necessary to stay with the same manufacturer however there is nothing wro... 
Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change?
Unless I missed the following questions I have from the above comments, I'd like to know the following:1) Are you using dedicated AC circuits and upgraded outlets to power your system?2) Are you using upgraded power cords?If not I would start there. 
Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60
@stevehuff what speakers are you using with your INT-25?Thanks :-) 
Upgrade Hegel H300 to Luxman 590AXii or else
I have unfortunately not had the opportunity to hear any Hagel products but I have read very good reviews regarding them. With that said I do own several good integrated amps and separates and one of them is the Luxman 590 AXII, which I highly rec...
