Upgrade bug has hit, interested in Pass Labs Amps
I don't want to bash Pass Labs, because they are great people, and their service goes over the top, but I would urge you to listen to the amp first. I was accustomed to various McIntosh solid state primarily, and I bought a 250.5 on the strength o... 
The best speakers to pair with McIntosh MA7000 ?
As you probably already know, speakers are the most personal choice that you will make for your system, and nobody can make it for you. The good news is that you have a great integrated amp that will really drive almost anything, and drive it very... 
Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier
What technology do these amps employ? Bipolar transistor, mosfet? Does anyone know what if anything makes them unique? 
What's next for the ultimate sound quality?
I think that you have answered your own question. You say that the speakers are competitive with other high end offerings, but you are using them with a Panasonic reciever. You need to get serious with your amplification to do the speakers justice. 
Jadis new line of monoblocks
Why don't you just call the distributor and ask them all of these questions?

Who was your first
Oscar Peterson. I saw him playing in a studio with his trio on educational TV. After that it was Stan Getz etc. 
Despise conventional dome tweeters
That is certainly a broadstroke critique if I have ever heard one. I agree that there are bad metal and cloth dome tweeters out there, but fewer than there used to be. There are also many good, and a few great ones, although I certainly notice the... 
Warm sounding Pre/Pro B&K vs. Anthem w/Mac+Klipsch
If you are looking for the "warm" Mac sound, I think that you may have bought the wrong amp. I bought that same amp with return priviledges from Audio Classics some years back. I was already very familiar with the Mac sound from owning a Mac 2100.... 
Anyone heard new Pretenders CD?
The quality of the songs is really good. I guess I could have wished for something more punky and electric, but she isn't a kid anymore. One thing that really stands out for me is her voice. It isn't as good as it used to be- it's better! 
Marantz vs Mcintosh
I agree, listen for yourself. I do believe that you will like the Mac however. They are smooth and full, and have a great mid-bass that works well with orchestral music, because you feel the weight of the orchestra. 
replace a full Cello System?
She isn't going to be able to buy a new Goldmund system with the proeeds from the Cello system. 
What will slap around
Chris,I owned Spendor SP100s for over 6 years, and I now own Spendor 9/1 (same drivers, different cabinet). I urge you to find a place where you can audition Harbeth Monitor 40s. I wish that I had never heard them, because they are so good, they s... 
Kora Mercury Integrated amplifier, is it worth?
I have read great things about the sound of the Kora, and years ago, I heard one playing in a room over small monitors at the Stereophile show in NYC, and I was truly impressed with the beautiful sound. The reservation that I would have is the sam...
