Your fav online resource for high end gear is....
I turn to everything from magazines to Audioreview and of course Audiogon. Still, there is no substitute for listening for yourself if possible. In my case it isn't always possible. I read many glowing reviews of the Pass Labs X250.5 for example, ... 
Beautiful Monitors?
Definately consider Diapason Adamantes. They are small and beautiful, and they make great music without a lot of power. On top of that they are small. 
female ballad song or artist from early 2000's ?
If you like the song, you must be able to at least tell us what some of the lyrics are. That should make identification pretty easy. 
Review: Tube Research Labs M-225 mono blocks Amplifier
Why are you selling them?

I'm sure that you mean Toms River. 
Reissue recordings with added tracks
Oh, I have to agree with you Tpreaves. As one example, I bought a remastered copy of Jethro Tull's Benefit last year, and not only are there a number of bonus tracks, but they are mixed in with the original order of the songs, which I think is aki...

Suggestions for 'filling the port' of bass reflex
I use upholstery foam about 1 inch thick that can be rolled up and placed in the port. It works well. 
Horns and 2in Drivers
Do you mean a horn loaded 2 inch compression driver? 
attenuators and potentiometers
This may or may not help. I have used a McIntosh 2105 solid state amplifier for years, and I had the same issue. The amp has gain controls, and in an effort to use the preamp (several different ones) at a higher gain setting, I turned down the dua... 
Joule LA100 MKIII or Granite Audio 770FP or Modwrt
I just bought a Joule Electra LA 100 Mk III used here on Audiogon, and I have to say, it's really great. Not as quiet as my Morrison ELAD, but the separation of instruments, dynamic grading and bass are all better. A natural organic sound, but not...
