SoundAnchor stands or Black Racing cones???
I have SA amp stands and they are great. They really help provide a foundation to the sound. Other stands didn't do the same trick. I've heard great things about their speaker stands with B+W speakers.I've tried the BDR cones, (not under speakers)...

ADCOM GFP-750 question
I believe it will work in true balanced mode. But having owned one, I liked the active mode the best. It had more life and dynamics. Things seemed to move faster. The passive mode did have a purer sound quality though. But I thought for my listeni... 
Add another sub or go with F30's?
From all the wisdom I've read on Audiogon and many other sources, buy another sub, and work on placement. There is lots of advice out there on placement. I don't think you'll here a big difference in the mids and highs m30 vs the M20. The big diff... 
Should I upgrade my Levinson 38S preamp to 380S?

Best Isolation Devices?
I use a sandwhich of Audiopoints, half inch plate glass, and Vibrapods tuned to the weight of your equipment. I have tried both flavors of BDR cones and the Mapleshades (the shades do thin the bass) and preferred Audiopoints. This combo works well... 
blowing maggie fuses on Mingus.
I'm not sure about your amp, but I had similar problems with Maggie 3.5s and used several diffent amps from ARC to Bryston to Biamped Acoustat TNT 200s and finally a Levinson 336. The speakers went back to Magnepan several times for not only would... 
Pass Labs vs. Levinson Pre's
I've not heard the Pass but it would hard to beat the #380s or the #32. I've owned both.
