Jeff Rowland 2 or Classe 25 for Avalon Eclipse
Aspac, You ignored my question regarding what preamp you will be using. You should have included that information with your original post. IE if you are using a Classe preamp the responses to your post may be different. Avalon Eclipse is not 8 ohm...

What are you using for a preamp? 
Volume affected by uneven lengths of spker cable??
If lifting cables off the floor makes a difference, don't you think different lengths might be noticable? Why gamble and wonder what the problem is when your system doesn't seem to sound quite right? Besides, who would buy a set of cables two diff... 
Heavy Duty Binding posts for Krell KSA 250
"The better the binding posts the better the sound." Not always, especially when the equipment is voiced with specific products. Changing something as simple as a binding post came have a huge affect on tonal balance. 
Jeff Rowland 2 or Classe 25 for Avalon Eclipse
In my opinion you are not comparing apples to apples. The Rowland Model 2 out classes the Classe and it should be plenty of power for the 2 way Avalons. 
Does anyone know where I can send this amp?
Is one side running warmer than the other?

Change the binding posts and you will change the sound. What you are attempting to do is backwards anyway. Find a spade to fit your amp not the other way around.

The Jeff Rowland Model 2 is an amazing amplifier and I would choose it over the Classe 25. 
ARC preamp Voltage convertion from 110v to 220V?
I must be living in the past. Audio Research preamps used to come with dual voltage transformers. If you needed a different voltage it was just a matter of switching a couple of wires. The dual voltage transformers were replaced with a single volt... 
ARC VS55, CJ PV10/ARC Sp-14, Naim 3.5, Vandy 1C
"I agree with Pops. The highs on the PV10 are anything but grainy and the culprit lies elsewhere."Unless there is something wrong with it. 
Interconnects that offer a mid-bass lift
What cable do you have now? 
Loss of bass & full spectrum sound
If your system demonstrates this problem everytime as it warms up it is something in your system, but if there is a pattern which occurs at the same time everyday you may want to try a power conditioner. 
Factory modifications for Manley Mahi Mahi
If it is performed by the manufacturer it is an update. If it is performed by some guy in his garage or a workshop in the back of a stereo store it is a mod. 
ARC VS55, CJ PV10/ARC Sp-14, Naim 3.5, Vandy 1C
Leave the SP-14 on and give it three days before evaluating. I would leave the Naim on 24/7 too. 
Best older Krell integrated amp that sounds good?
Have you considered a vintage integrated? There are some really nice sounding amps out there designed by people like Nelson Pass and the same people that designed Accuphase. They sell for a very reasonable price.
