Smoother integrated for JMLabs Chorus 706?
Try an audio refinement. Just recently I had a chance to pair one with a pair of JM Labs, and was surprised at how good that combo really is. If you can afford to spend more, try looking at some of the YBA integrateds. 
Bought, Sold, Rebought,Sold Bought again.
Yup, that fits me perfectly. I bought an audio refinement complete four times. It took me a while to realize it's value to me. Also, I bought a pair of Paradigm studio 20's twice. And also a pair of Revel M20's twice. You would think I'd learn aft... 
What can $300 do?
Paradigm Mini Monitor. Can be had for about 250 used. That's where my money would go if I were in your shoes.. 
What amp for the Revel M20
Right now I am using an Audio Refinement complete with my m20's. I could use a little more power, but since I'm in an apartment, I can't crank the music anyway. I would be interested in trying the Unison. Let me know what you decide. 
Which recording best highlites your speakers??
Alison Krauss - New FavoriteSpeakers are Revel M20 
What is your system - classical and folk.
In my opinion good rock is just as hard to acheive as good classical. It all depends on the recording. Pink Floyd has some sweet recordings.Personally, I listen to everything except classical. I just can't get into it. You can click on my system b... 
Bookshelf vs. Floorstand
Give a listen to a pair of paradigm studio 20's with the servo 15 sub. An awesome combination. Sub/satellite combos don't always sound that great though. I prefer the sound of stand mount speakers without a sub the best, however. 
What used speakers would you buy under $600?
I've heard Green Mountain Europa mentioned quite a bit. 
Best speaker match for Levinson system
Cytocycle, you are correct, Levinson and Revel are part of Madrigal. I agree, that is probably where the good synergy comes from. 
Reynaud Magic Stand, spikes on carpet?
Bobneill, I'm not sure you want to put blue tak between the stands and the carpet. I don't see that doing anything besides ruining the capret. Phil, if I were you, I'd probably look into cones. If it was explained to me correctly, those stands don... 
Best speaker match for Levinson system
Like Sgr, I would also recommend Revel products. The salons would be great, or the studio if the budget is a little tighter. 
looking for new speakers????
I agree, in fact I think the concertos will be quite a bit better than the Theils. 
Paradigm Monitor or Studio?
Both are great value as far as speakers go. However, the studio is definitely worth the extra money. If you like the monitor sound, you will like the studio sound, I can almost guarantee it. Which model are you considering? 
Should I be concerned about overpowering my spkrs
Especially with the N805's in your list. They will like the power, I wouldn't be afraid one bit to throw the krell at them. Have you thought of adding the revel m20's to your list of speakers? Those, too, love the power. 
Adhesives?
Depending on how small the part is, try some ordinary super glue. For bigger stuff and stuff that sees more stress, there is an epoxy by west systems that works fantastic. It's pretty expensive and it's a two part system. If that sounds like too m...
