Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ?
Yep I third Aragon. Palladiums will delivery over 1000(1500 on dynamic peaks roughly) watts at under 2 ohms. 
Adcom GFP-750 or Blue Circle Audio 21.1
Yeah, Adcom is a killer Pre-amp. DOesnt put any signature on the sound at all, completely transparent. Its a garenteed winner. 
Best Amp for my new Speakers?
I myself own a pair of Revel Salon speakers. I have demo'd alot of amps for these too. Ill give you a good rundown as I have alot of experience with alot of the amps you have listed since I used to be a dealer for many of the products above a few ... 
Linn vs. Wadia
When I was a Wadia(Also sold Lynn,Meridian,ML,McIntosh and Rotel) dealer, we had never seen 1 single unit come back in our store due to defect(or anything else for that matter) and we sold a good deal of them through the course of the 3 years I wo...

Kberg: I used to sell Proceed(along with ML and Revel)amps. STAY AWAY FROM PROCEED!! They had a terrible return rate and reliability is very poor at best. In one year the company I worked for sold about 120 units of the HPA and AMP series. Over ha...

Aragon 8008 is a great amp. You can get a mint condition 8008BB for under $1500. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Revel Salon's for me hands down. I had the opportunity to AB directly again Wilson Watt puppies(Version 6 I believe),ML Prodigy,B&W 801,Revel's own smaller Studio,and Ariel 20 and 10T speakers.All great speakers Im sure everyone would agree. B... 
The best CD Player for the money
Agreed, but a thread asking a question about "whats the best cd player" I just find kinda useless. Most of the threads are going to give very limited opinions(people are going to recommend what they have, and may do so without acutally having alot... 
Parasound Halo JC-1
Heard a pair of these broken in vs. a pair of Aragon Palladiums and Bryston 7B ST's on some demo Studios through a Levinson CD transport. They all sounded great, but the Aragon's had better dynamics, top end was also smoother yet more detailed. Th... 
The best CD Player for the money
Cant beat the Wadia 301 for $3000. Great bang for the buck! BUt I must add, what a useless thread this is! 
Linn vs. Wadia
Proud Wadia 301 owner here. Have AB'd many of these units. For $2950 the 301 is a steal, and I couldnt believe how big of a step up in SQ it was over the earlier 830 and 850 models.
