@boa2 Damn!  I’m going to have to return to your neck of the woods to hear your new system!  
Audio Mirror WAVE Tube Preamplifier and Addiction SET amplifiers - AUDITION REVIEW
great review! So are you changing over to Klipshorns?  
Recommend an amp + pre for ESL 57s and a new turntable (way out of my league)
The Aragon sounded great on my 989s.  I think the Bedini is a great choice.  It was easy to replace caps and still sounded great.  Let us know what you decide.   
Any Softone Model 4 tube phono preamp users out there?
Is this 110 V? Do you need to use a step up transformer?

Another cost effective option: musical reference rm-10 amplifier. Designed for the quads.

I imagine that the 303 would be a good match on a budget, try to get a restored one.  I have used the Bedini 25/25 and it is a great sweet spot for a reasonable price.  You could post a "wanted" on USAM.

Doesn’t an MTM configuration include dedicated midrange driver(s)?

@pinball101 Wouldnt I get a better connection, at least to the first outlet, by going directly into the outlet rather than creating a pigtail in the box? That’s what I was thinking and why I would Daisy chain. Because the most important outlet wil...

It looks like the furutech cannot be daisychained. I see strapping for a ground lug only on one side. So I’m looking for a good outlet that can be daisychained as I have two duplexes in the same box.

@ghdprentice Does this have lugs on both sides, so I can connect through it to a second duplex?  I was thinking I'd get a Furutech for my amps and a lesser unit for the subs. AND THANK YOU ALL WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED!

@jea48 That's the word I was looking for.  "Isolated Ground".  Thank you! Can any/all of the recommendations above be wired as isolated ground?  I think this is the case if one uses a plastic box for the outlets, or uses plastic washers and screws...
