If boulder is tops what is second tier?
I always knew there was a reason I liked the moving force behind Boulder. How refreshing to find a SOA mfg. decrying the cable & pwr. cord cant populating the industry, it`s mags, E zines & attendant forums. 
25' balanced ic that a mere mortal can afford?
Try Blue Jeans Cable. Competes with mega buck cables @ a fraction of the price. 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Citreon is big with SET owners. 
Any experience Good/Bad with Marigo Audio mat/dots
Wellfed, I`m curious. Do you use the dots on your coffee table? 
Amplifiers: High Current? High Voltage?
Ballsy amps, as far as current delivery is concerned, double down (they deliver 2x the current into 4 ohms that they deliver into 8 ohms & 4x the current into 2 ohms). For example 300W into 8 ohms, 600W into 4 ohms & 1200W into 2 ohms.

Chadnliz, @ least whether by accident or design, you bypassed the snoots @ Lyric. 
Amplifiers: High Current? High Voltage?
They don`t control current. They should dump it into the load when needed. All amps can`t do this. 
Copper wire wrap as tube damper - heat sink?
From your description, it will neither provide any damping nor any significant heat dissipation. Next. 
Blown Amp Channels
No. Since the blown channels have no input or output, they are out of the pwr. supply loop when wattage & current are supplied to the working channels. 
How to purchase a Wilson Tweeters
You can`t switch tweeters without modifying the Xover. Even then, with test equipment & expertise, the results will be dubious @ best. YMMV. 
MAGNIFICO AUDIO.. Swedish CONCRETE 2 way..
Muriatic acid will clean up the concrete nicely & then you can apply thorough seal. 
How to purchase a Wilson Tweeters
They probably need to be bought from Wilson. Even tho they probably were OEM, Wison either modded them or had it done by the OEM. Trying to find them elsewhere will be like looking for a needle in a haystock. 
A great article on Class D/switching amps
I know this might come as a surprise but there doesn`t seem to be any shortage of technical articles & opinion on switching (digital) amps. Whether they`re ready for prime time is the salient issue for everyone to determine for themselves. 
Tube Amp "Ringing"
Sounds like tube microphonics. There are several tube dampers on the mkt. Do a search or google them. It might also be a funky tube that needs replacement. Microphonics is one of the downsides of tubes. 
Aragon 4004mkII OR Adcom GFA 555 II
This is a lateral move.
