amp recommendation for subwoofer
OOPS, My bad! That Crown is only 145WPC into 8 ohms, and the QSC GX5 is 500wpc into 8 ohms(I was thinking about the GX3- 300WPC @ 8 ohms for $299.00).

Perhaps you meant this Crown, with the same power for $100 more (http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--CWNXLS202), or this QSC, with the same power for $200 more? (http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--QSCGX5) YEP- They are commercial amps too. Not ...

amp recommendation for subwoofer
I'm using a Hafler TransNova 9505, which provides a very fast and accurate bass with my transmission-line woofers(actively bi-amped). If you are looking for a lower-budget/high-slam factor: Look at the "Best amp for the cost of dirt" thread in her... 
Walker Audio- High Definition Links- anyone
Listener57- I don't believe anyone replied to your question. A system with bi-wire provision(4 terminals) and jumpers installed, is connected the same as a system without bi-wire capability(two terminals). One HDL will connect to, and affect all d...

Unfamiliar tubes for a preamp
The EC88 is a European designation for the 6DJ8/6922/E188CC/7308 family, and is a dual triode. The Holy Grail of the family being the Siemens CCa. The WY4P is a chinese voltage regulator tube like the RCA OD3 (http://cgi.ebay.com/NOS-0d3-VR150-JAN... 
loudness level?
If you want the analog to sound as loud as the digital, you'll have to get a cartridge with a higher mV output or a MC pre-amp with more gain. Are you having to turn up the volume to the point at which noise becomes an issue? If not: don't worry a... 
Speaker db rating?
Groundhog- Refer to the websites cited for the facts. Also: Remember that tube amps always provide more listenable volume than their rated wattage will indicate. Happy shopping and listening. 
bi-wire cables on single binding post, sonic loss?
Sugarbrie- I was stating that I (personally) would remove the four spades from the speaker end of the cables, mate the conductors and install only two spades or bananas. This would lessen the chances of the post loosening from cable vibrations(thr...
