Watt/puppy with Quicksilver M-135 amps
Only regrets that M135 aren't manufactured anymore. 
Why does Cary Audio keep discontinuing good amps?

3.5mm headphone to Speaker
You currently have an electret passive driver which is simply a transformer and fileter. You will need to purchase STAX active driver that connects to tape output(volume independed) so you can turn volume down on your amp. 
I need advice on a good value for speakers
I think getting from dealer on the long run carefully considering the shipping cost especially for speakers, possibility of shipping damage, also possibility of service plan if needed may end up making more sense. 
Greeding to all DAC users
If you have someone to implement a digital input on your Meridian(Modwright?), than you can use it with your Pioneer for 2ch decoding. You realy won't find better DAC for 5x the money you'll spend for any of external -- quit wasting time.

Any advantages to bi-wiring speakers vs. single
Biwreing may or maynot benefit since you're adding a reactance to crossover equation.Biamping is what biwire terminals are for to benefit. 
Power Cords--Your Preference?
One of the best stock ones I've seen is from Crown 3600 amp. I would say that on audiophile market that piece alone would probably run for $400/1m, but unfortunately(may be fortunately:-)) it's captive. That monster is able to blast transient curr...
