Speaker Cables to Power Amp - Left to Right/Right to Left; Does it matter?
Do as mike_in_nc says. You do not want the left and right channels reversed.  
Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them!
Don't cheap out, your Klipsch will know the difference. Start with a pair of Quicksilver Horn Monos. They are superb, have power, and are affordable.  
Equalizing Bi-Amp outputs
A crossover (with volume control) can handle that task. I use a DBX crossover in my main system.  
Output / Input Voltage Question
Combo is good, all you need is enough voltage to drive the amp and you have 3 times that. Not enough headroom, you need more amp.P.S. 100wpc is not a lot of power.  
How would you prioirtize?
A nice tube amp...then a tube pre-amp.  
unconventional stand solution for LS50 Wireless II? suggestions?
Sanus makes very solid and affordable stands but I have Pangea heavy stands on my LS-50s, still affordable. 
Looking for my "last" CD transport
My long term audio dealer will not buy used CD players due to the uncertain life of the laser.  
Blown tube issue
"...Set Bias for 300mVDC measured across 10 ohm cathode resistor..."That is not driven too hard for an EL-34. Some amps drive them way harder than that. 
Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well
On the digital front, who knows? But the analog conversion and the analog amp do make a difference. Very rare to have a good sounding cheap amp.

What does Pioneer say? 1 800 421 1404? 
Upgrading my table - your thoughts...
Your Emotiva gear is the weak link. You will make the biggest improvements there.  
ls 50 metas compared to floorstanding speakers
Nearfield means that you are sitting where you are not getting multiple wavelengths delivered to your ear. Well, in hi-fi you are always in the far field at high frequencies and always in the near field at low frequencies. So it really means, in g... 
AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House
"...There are many ways to look at things..."I like the benefits of class D. There are many applications where they would be superior. Glad to hear that they sound good. 
Gripped By Upgrade Fever
Two way systems can have a very good sound but they usually have some fault. It's very hard to make two drivers that can go from 20-20000hz. A third driver is very useful in filling in the weak parts of a two way design. Don't even worry about the... 
AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House
"...What has me excited about this amp is not because it`s the best class D that i have heard but one of the best amps i have heard and what i`m hearing especially at it`s price point..."To me it seems like a lot of money for an 85 watt, 5 pound a...
