UPGRADE TIME!! Preamp vs. Speakers???
Changing the speakers will make the biggest difference in sound.  I would start there. 
9 year old Parasound Jc 1s or new Bel Canto 1000m monos?
I own a pair of GE Triton Ones and the JC-1 is not too much power for them.  I am using a 160wpc power amp and it sound stupendous, I can only imagine how wonderful it will sound with 400wpc and mono blocks no less. 
GoldenEar Releases Triton 2+ and Triton 3+ Revisions
Why don't you just say what you mean?  They came out with a refreshed pair of 2 and 3.  The two has been around 5 years and the three for almost that.  I'm slightly annoyed that I took delivery of a new pair of Triton twos on Dec 23, 2015 and paid... 
Advise on selling Pathos Classic One MK III
The answer is pretty obvious, post the ad on Audiogon and sell it. 
Denon to Parasound
All Odyssey amps double their power as the impedence drops. I would say it’s at least 200wpc. Depending on what options you get in your Khartago will determine the power output. The guy that designs Magico Speakers uses a Khartago in his lab, yes ... 
Questions About Bulk Power Cable, Sugestions Needed
Well, you guys sold me.  I am ordering the DH Labs Power Plus tomorrow.  You guys saved me over 8.00 per foot as well.  My electrician friend says this is way overkill for a 15 amp circuit especially since there will be at most, a 8 amp draw on th... 
How to best ship big & heavy speakers internationally?
Both UPS and FedEx Freight do international. 
Denon to Parasound
Remember, Odyssey is made entirely in the USA.  Not sure about that Parasound.  I know most of their stuff used to be made in China, not sure if they still are.  At any rate, the Odyssey Khartago amp is the better amp by far.

Got it, was a joke.  Good one.

I do not get what you are driving at.  My wife is extremely happy and she is the one who INSISTED that I buy the speakers.  My wife got a brand new 2016 Hyundai Sonata loaded to replace the 2012 that she had.  Also in December, we had BathFitters ... 
Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection.
SunnyJim...................I remember the Rectilinear 3 and 3A.  I owned a pair of the original 3 speakers and kick myself for ever selling them.  I had them for 10 years, then tried the latest and greatest from another manufacturer and got on the...

Mrs. Claus got a new car in December plus many other gifts today. 
Speaker help under $2,500
I do not think the speakers your wife bought you is anything to be sad about.  I am sure you will like them and that they will sound great.  Most audiophiles/music lovers should be so lucky.  You can always grab a pair of Vandersteen 3A sig 1 or 2...

Right now I am listening to Johnny Winter, "Scorchin' Blues" and the sound is the best I have heard in this room yet.  Its playing on a Sony HAPZ1ES Music Player into a Rogue Cronus Magnum and out to the Triton 2.   Merry Christmas all.
