CD's in DVD players a compromise?
IMHO Arcam DVD players work quite well with CDs. 
Thiel 2.4Special Edition or Marten Form/Dukes?
I don't know anything about the Marten speakers, but, I think you'll need a bigger amps for the Thiels if you want then to perform as described. 
SF Power 1s with Thiel CS 2.3s Enuf Pwr?
3 Ohms is a tough load for a B&K ST 140. http://www.stereophile.com/amplificationreviews/675/index9.html 
Who can convert single ended to balanced?
There was a retailer that was making eq replacements for B&W's, I believe it was called something like the "Maughan(?) box". Again this seems to be a dead end. The balanced Golden Flutes seem to be the best option, but I haven't had any luck f... 
Who can convert single ended to balanced?
JPS made their own eq replacements for various speakers, B&W, Thiel, etc.. When I contacted them, they told me they no longer make them, and very few balanced JPS Golden Flutes were made for Thiel 3.5's. Thanks anyway. 
Who can convert single ended to balanced?
Swampwalker, I'm waiting for a response from Thiel. My memory is vague on this, but, I think they declined to do it in the past. Thanks anyway. 
Power Output of Class "D" amps
It appears to me that perhaps, the only real "digital" amps are the TacTs. Then again they might not be amps at all. Or..., I just don't understand them all that well. 
Monarchy SE-250's
I'm curious too. 
Most resolving solid state amp you've ever heard?
The amps that come my mind are the: Spectral, Tact and perhaps Spectron. I haven't had the opprotunity to hear enough of it to make a real determination, but the TacT is the only one I would personally consider. 
Best sounding Krell ?
"lacks finesse and texture" Your right, "That, of course, is subjective and one person's opinion." I find Krell's power amplifiers not only handle macro-dynamics well, but, micro-dynamics (finesse and handling?) as well, if not better than most ot... 
Companies with good customer service?
Thiel! 
Speaker advice
Ferrari nailed it. Do keep in mind that (at least IMHO) the Vandy's are very room sensitive, for point source dynamic speakers. 
Krell or Anthem ???
As much as I like Krell's power amplifiers, I've been underwhelmed by their intergrateds. 
Wilson better than Thiels?
"casual vocals and light instrumental music"? I suggest you let the reader, or better yet the listener, decide for themsleves. 
SF Power 1s with Thiel CS 2.3s Enuf Pwr?
I'm not familiar with the B&K ST-180. If it is like other B&K ST models such as the ST-140, I think you'll find that these amplifiers don't really work that well with speakers that have impedance loads like the Thiels. The B&K M series...
