Question about Class A
Investigate GaN amps first. There are several threads on AG that should prove helpful (one is mine). As I recall, at least one person preferred the LSA Voyager GaN amp to Nelson Pass, PLUS, GaN runs cool (less electricity) and Underwood sells them... 
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
@twoleftears "If anybody could get both amps in the same room at the same time, then they would really have my attention." Indeed! I would also add the LSA Voyager 350 @ 3+ times the wattage but has an MSRP of $3000, though usually available f... 
Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music?
Open Baffle tend to be very good at this, as they eliminate cabinet resonances inherent in most box speaker designs

Power Cable Suggestions Needed
I had several Cullen PCs, well made, BUT...   I have a couple WireWorld Electra 7s that Im no longer using (MSRP @ $240), I haven't listed them, but Im sure we can work something out if interested  
Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4
It’s mostly the amp. I too have OBs, in my case Emerald Physics 3.4s (concentric 1" polyester in a 12" woofer) and my room is ~ 35 x 20 x 12’ peak in an open beam ceiling. Front wall is ~ 80% glass and rear wall is 100% glass. A tough room to get ...

What do you guys think of adding a subwoofer to this system?
I too am not a fan of built in woofers, or powered subs. I am currently using Emerald Physics 3.4s (open baffle), which have a 12" mid-bass with 1" concentric polyester tweeter. These would be sufficient in most rooms, but mine is ~35 x 21 with an... 
What do you guys think of adding a subwoofer to this system?
@mijostyn +1. You nailed it, as did the @ejr1953  using calibration mic and software   I finally sold a 10+ YO pair of SVS powered subs; an Ultra and a Plus (the tall round cylinders). I was never able to get a seamless blend, mostly due to the ... 
Looking for a warm sounding amp or integrated with a torodial transformer
WireWorld Electra 7 PC is very good value $ money. I use one, and have a couple more that I upgraded from that are in need of a new home   To answer what does it my PC that is as expensive as the CDT 6000, there's no simple answer. It depends on... 
Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp and Pangea Premier XL coax cable. And just a tick into January 2022 a Audiolab CDT 6000. All are amazing value  
the cart or the horse?
Upgrade your amp: https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/lsa-amplifiers The LSA Warp One has gotten excellent reviews, and there’s one FS on Agon for a silly cheap price or the sweet tube amp.  ALSO, Underwood HiFi sells the Audio GD dac pre/headp... 
Parasound JC1+ warm up time
I never turn my SS kit off. And even at that the system definitely sounds better after ~ 30 minutes if play
