How can I connect to 2 bluetooth devices at once on my TV
Generally you might be able to pair the speakers to each other but only pair one device at a time to the TV.  
Preamp Recommendations For the Parasound JC 5 Amp
I would give the Don Sachs a try. My Parasound A21 and my 6NS7 based Cary SLP-98 was about as good as it gets.   
Loud Snap at High Volume
@erik_squires    Erik has got the answer. The dynamic range of classical music can be huge. Play Fanfare for the Common Man with cannons and turn the volume down until you don't hear any distortion. That will be your approximate system limit. If y... 
Tube then Class D
You MUST have a phono pre-amp. It can be separate or built in but you need one that translates the input signal into the corrected RIAA curves.    
Large mid/bass, soft-dome tweeter, high(ish) sensitivity
I still love my Lintons.  
A very eclectic KTEL offering.
Remember the SNL sketch? Every record ever made, delivered by an 18 wheeler!   
Subwoofer connection XLR vs RCA
No need to change, you will get no benefit from the XLR.  
Need replacement lights for power amp meters
I like no lights. Much better for listening in the dark.  
Mid range planar magnetics
Infinity used to.  
Bi-Amping: How can I determine relative output?
@erik_squires Oh shoot I was thinking about the way I do it with an outboard crossover. You are right.    
Bi-Amping: How can I determine relative output?
@erik_squires  Voltage out does not equal SPL out. You may get the amps giving the same output but differences in driver efficiency will make the SPL different.  
Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh
I'm going to say the Harbeths are just not cutting it. Small two way speakers seldom do (unless you like a lean sound). You need a bigger 3 way to get the warm midrange you are looking for.   
Class D with high efficiency speakers
I would certainly try it. It might make for a good match.   
Bi-Amping: How can I determine relative output?
One of the amps will need to have a gain adjustment. You'll need a sound level meter of some kind if you want an accurate adjustment. I tune my woofer towers by ear but YMMV.   
Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined?
If the creative juices are still flowing, how about one ala Charles Bukowski. How about John Blutarsky?
