First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie.
FWIW, I don't agree at all with Jj468. Music is more often than not, properly played above speaking volume, even when in scale to smaller rooms. Being able to play well at low volumes might be a postive attribute, but, it is most certainly not the...

Newbee and Chadnliz offer outstanding advise. 
Come Play The Audiophile Genie Game
Somebody had a lot extra time on their hands. 
Please suggest good balanced Preamp
I don't know what the Pass X-over's impedance is, but Pass amps tend to be on the low side for tubes. That said, the Sonic Fronties Line 3 SE might work for you. 
Off brand hdtv sets.....
Some of these brands have a couple of models that have garnered good reviews as value products. Vizio seems to have had the most success, with many models recieving good reviews as very good value products, though not neccessarily as top performer... 
Threshold S300 Power Amplifier
Johnss, perhaps you can start another thread and share that story. I for one would be interested. 
Threshold S300 Power Amplifier
CORRECTION. Sorry, I left something out on my previous post, it should have read as:...."For example, a Threshold S/300 should offer 30 Watts per channel of Class A power before offering an additional 120 Watts per channel of Class AB power into a... 
Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...?
Another vote for "Birds of Fire". 
Threshold S300 Power Amplifier
1. Most would agree that the Threshold Class A amps are sweeter and less forward than the Threshold Class A/AB amps. Albeit, at a cost. The Class A amps cost quite a bit more than the Class A/AB amps on a per Watt basis, cost more to run and run m... 
THRESHOLD S300
Threshold's own fet10 combo will work very nicely. Audio Research and Sonic Frontiers (though I think with the S300 many of the benefits might be lost)) are reputed to be good tube matches. FWIW, Audio Research is also reputed to work well with Ma... 
THRESHOLD S300
Undertow summed it up very well. The series II is said to be less dry at the top and tighter at the bottom than the earlier version. The e series, unlike the previous versions are DC coupled, true balanced, and in the stereo versions, dual mono wi... 
Threshold S300 Power Amp
An amp as old as the Threshold S300 might need new caps and rebiasing. You have a fine amp and the costs to do the above would be well worth it. It would probably cost much more to find a newer amp that could compare to your Threshold. I like many... 
Pass X-350 with Acoustat 2 + 2
The X-1000 mono blocks run to 128 Watts peak in Class A. Maybe I'm mistaken, but it's hard for me to imagine with that in mind, that the X-350 runs in Class A to 100 Watts. 
Pass X-350 with Acoustat 2 + 2
I don't believe high current requires Class A operation. 
Projector VS some other type of HDTV
Reflected light should be easier on the eyes than direct light.
