What to use in polishing high quality wood speaker
Thiel used to only recommend Endust. 
Vandersteen 2CE v NHT 2.5?? or ??
Given the choices above, I'd choose the Vandy's, but they're not for everyone. What do you like about the Vandys, and what would you like to improve upon with them?Shubert brings up a valid point! 
Mark Levinson 23.5 vs Classé Audio CAM-350
I'm not sure that either of the candidates are the best example of "fast, detailed sound,..." 
"Against design"
Interesting perspective by the OP. I thought the more modern designs were in part a response to what was previously found unattractive in older speaker designs. Some of the older speaker designs were of some necessity due to the amplification tech... 
Pass Integrated to Pass separates
Remember, when power demands increase they do so exponentially. Sometimes it comes down more to what kind of music you listen to, than where the volume knob is set at. As the volume increases the benefits of Class A can begin to diminish. While s... 
What's a great SS amp to pair with the CJ CT-5?
The Pass amps are certainly grand, but I'm not sure they are the ideal mates for the c-j pre you are using. According to the respective websites; the c-j CT-5 has a somewhat high output impedance of 800 Ohms, and the Pass 250.5 has input impedance... 
What's a great SS amp to pair with the CJ CT-5?
Don't rule out c-j's own under appreciated ss amplifier offerings. 
Cracked glass/ Mcintosh
The quality, amount and length of time the buyer has garnered feedback, and the same criterion observed from those who left feedback for the buyer might be insightful. 
Cracked glass/ Mcintosh
I agree with Atmasphere here. Ordinarily the shipper is responsible for safe delivery. As far as 24 hours, etc.. It's quite possible that someone else signed for it while the original purchaser was out of town, it might have been delivered late on... 
Thiel CS3.6 with issues: take the chance?
Pass. For less than the cost of having them misrepaired (yes, I know), you could find a pair in much better condition. 
B&K and Vandersteen Good match??
In that price range, I'd suggest PSE and for just a little more McCormack. 
Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers
Atmasphere, perhaps I'm not seeing the same things you are? And, Bifwynne's post re: MLs amplifier recommendations seem to suggest amplifier characteristics that are at odds with your post "...IOW the ML ESLs are a low impedance Power Paradigm lou... 
Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers
Al, thank you. I thought I might have missed something. Still, the last paragraph seems to suggest what I think most could reasonably expect:"...Figs.5-7 show the measured impedances of the 2Ce, Angelus, and Aerius. Note that the Sonic Frontiers' ... 
Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers
"...IOW the ML ESLs are a low impedance Power Paradigm loudspeaker..."Perhaps I'm missing something here, but do these graphs seem to suggest something else?http://www.stereophile.com/reference/810/index.html 
Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers
Every once in a while I remember to use my memory :-).One of the speakers used here was the earlier ML Aerius and not the OPs ML Aerius i, nevertheless it might be germane:http://www.stereophile.com/reference/810/index.html
