Can I build a Proac Response 3
The crossover in the Proac certainly is designed for the MTM configuration, but I wouldn't say that a well exectued TMM couldn't compete simply because it's TMM design. 
Can I build a Proac Response 3
The answer to your question is that you can buy and install parts in the existing cabinets to (more than likely) get better sound than what you have now. To duplicate the sound of the Proac is probably not realistic. Unless you have them for compa... 
Ear Buds? Any good recommendations under $100?
I'm using the shure E3c. I think they were like 200 for the pair, but I got them at guitar center for $60. 
Cabinet Making Crossover Tweakers
Only building cabinets and tweaking crossovers in lieu of what? Designing and building drivers? If you are after a list of companies that use off the shelf drivers, the list is very long.

sub for Studio-20s?
Sunfire makes some cool subs that work well with your studio 20's. That was one of the first nice systems I had a chance to play with at my local dealer. (Of course, this was 10 years ago when dealers still existed) 
Class A Amp owners, Whats your power bill?
I'm running a luxman 550 II class a integrated. I've had it for about two months. While I don't leave it on 24/7, I have not noticed a difference in my power bill. 
Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1
I have not heard them, unfortunately. Sony knows how to build a speaker when they want to. This is not the first high end speaker they have produced. They had a pair a number of years ago that carried an MSRP of $16,000 that was fairly well received. 
iMac Combo Headphone/Optical Out Port Cable
Some standard toslink cables come with the adapter to fit the headphone output. Mine did. It's just a small piece of plastic that looks like a headphone jack on one end and accepts the toslink on the other.
