Best Budget Bookshelf Speakers?
How long do you plan to keep them. The B&W 300 series are great speakers for the money and have excellent resale value if you get the urge to upgrade later. 
buying decision? B W/ Vienna Acoustics?
Sorry, I saw the Rega, but missed you were using a Classe amp. Preamp???

What is the rest of your system? I know your speakers well and they will perform great with amplification much better than what people usually spend on a $1800 speaker. If you like the P6 and you're using a more budget-end amplifier and pre-amplif...

MIT Terminator 2 Bi-Wire or MH-750 depending on your budget. I use to run T2 with the MF2100 with good results. Good deals at AudioAdvisor.com 
Subwoofer Platforms or Isolation ???

You get what you pay for...
I had the same IEC power cord problem with one I got for a relative. Its really the cord not the IEC. The cheap cord they give you does not fit in the IEC slot snuggly. Replace it. That was probably the problem with your first one based on your de... 
Bookshelf speakers with the best bass...
