Check out the new Job amps recently released by goldmund. 
Do I have a "balance" problem?
Have you actually checked the distance from the center of your listening chair to the tweeter of both speakers? If you have positioned your speakers by measuring from the walls to the speakers there is still a good chance they are not equadistant ... 
Core Audio Technology's "Kratos" - a digital amp
I can't comment on the digital amp but I have been a customer of Core Audio Technologies for several years (I have the Mac Mini external power supply) and Ryan is always eager to please. He is very creative and has the technical abilities to make ...

I would pass on the Cary 11. Try to find an Anthem. Much better IMO.

Does anyone own the Bel Canto SET 40?
I owned one...actually it was the SET 40i (integrated). Ran it with Merlin speakers and Meridian CD player about 8 years ago or so. Classic 845 tube sound,sounded great but got very hot as I remember. 
WHAT TV SHOULD I GET RIGHT NOW?
Panasonic.
