Speaker cable recommendations
A very good inexpensive cable to try is Signal Cable, Sliver Resolution series, a very good all round cable.Another great cable, but more expensive, is WyWires, Blue series. 
two way v. three way speakers
@McelJO, Yes balance and budget constraints are always a point of compromise in any system, but I was agreeing with you about the use of a quality amp to get better performance from a good pair of speakers. 
two way v. three way speakers
All things being equal a three way is better than a two way, due the three way not sharing mid/bass range in a single driver. But this not the end of the story, driver selection, crossover design/integration and cabinet construction also are impor... 
Integrated Amp with HT by-pass
The Modwright KWI-200 has HT bypass as well, the amp has a warmth to its sound, not as warm as the PL INT-30, but I prefer it to the Pass. Not to mention great power reserves and very clean. Its worth a look, also it made in the USA as well. 
What great speakers can buy direct?
As suggested in your other thread, give Selah Audio a look. Great speakers, with a wide range and options to choose from. 
Looking for "realistic" speakers
Checks out Selah Audio, very fine detailed speakers that won't break the bank. Rick uses Scan Speak drivers as well as may other, what ever you are looking for in a speaker he has something to fit the bill. 
Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most?
My comfy couch, so that I can sit back and enjoy all of my system and just take it in. . . who knew. Modwright KWI-200 w/ MW LS-100 PA. 
Hegel h300 or Modwrkw200 or Music Fidelity M6500i
Rsahd000Right now I have Wywires (Blue) between the KWI-200 and the LS-100, and Signal Cables (Silver) for source and speakers wires. The speakers are from Selah. 
Best Rock Drummers
Nicko McBrain of Maiden and of course Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. . . both outstanding drummers. 
Hegel h300 or Modwrkw200 or Music Fidelity M6500i
Had not heard the Hegel, had the MF M6 500I, excellent amp but I did not like it in my system and got rid of it. I now have the MW KWI-200, for a few years now, it is just a fantastic IA, it seems to do a lot of things right, plenty of power and h... 
Power conditioners around $500
Can't go wrong with the Furman Elite series, great value for the money. 
Bit of a dillema Simaudio.. UPGRADE hmmm
I would also agree with the above post, your electronics far surpass your speakers. Upgrade your speakers first then you can revisit your amps. The moon 600/700i are first class IA's I had the chance to listen to the 600i drive a pair of Dyn's C4'... 
Musical Fidelity m6 500i vs Mcintosh ma 7000
I had the M6-500i, and had a different result. The amp sounded great driving Dyn's C1's while doing the store demo, but with my then speakers (PMC) the amp sounded terrible. I suspect the amp does a great job driving less sensitive speakers with i... 
Silver cables
I too would recommend Signal Cable, very good cables that perform well and won't break the bank. 
Amplifier upgrade or speaker upgrade
+1 upgrade your amp, your speakers will perform better.
