Amps on top?
Never heard anything about the shelf location - have read about having x inches clearance for airflow.    
Kimber 4TC Bi-Wire Question
Assuming you have both set hooked up to the amp/integrated and your speakers have 4 connections (pair for high and low) the answer is yes in theory.    If you are exploring alternatives consider buying a set of TC and VC cables. The monocles and ... 
Admitting my error…
I wouldn’t try to ‘build an extensive vinyl library’ though I think having a turntable is enjoyable.    I use my turntable less than 10% of the time and it’s a great way to engage friends who like music.    Digital is good and convenient. And fo... 
Rega P3 vs SOTA Comet III
I prefer Rega because: Lifetime warranty  Simplicity of set up (with Rega cartridges) I appreciate their application of the low mass turntable    audition if you can, it’s your preference that matters.   
The New Amati G5 or Joseph Audio Pearl Graphene
@prof I am envious on your ability to describe sounds so elegantly.  I wouldn’t compare Olympica Nova 3s as a proxy for the Amati G5: Amani is a much more refine speaker 3.5 way versus a 3 way design The details are a whole other level especia... 
Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones

The "audiophile gear" I REALLY need is a damn house.
@grislybutter I am very pleased with my gear - I have listened to a variety of gear and I like there sound and I think it’s value is second to none.    @james633 I like it loud; my view of loud though is 85 db or so. My neighbor is very agreeable... 
The "audiophile gear" I REALLY need is a damn house.
Damn - I live downtown. Quiet is 30 db I concur on a good headphone amp and headphones.  Excellent options and can be a different experience vs 2 channel system.

The New Amati G5 or Joseph Audio Pearl Graphene
I am curious on what you decide because I think your choices are win-win. I have listened to the Amanti G5 powered by Audio Research 160 stereo, Moon 860AV2 and Boulder's 300 watt amp.  I think they sound awesome.

I was impressed with their customer service and if not for the exceptional customer service I would've returned the product and tried another manufacturer. I tried the TC speaker cables and then the  BiFocal XLs and they made a profound change.  
mcintosh mc-462
@roxy54 that costs extra  
mcintosh mc-462
I used to have McIntosh and the 462 is a nice amp. I moved away from McIntosh based on preferences.    Is it worth the price tag….  you must decide that and the resale value of my gear was higher than I expected.   
Whats on your turntable tonight?
