Sad but true – budget HT 10 years in making
Sam, the Hsu Research VTF-2 MK4 looks like a good choice in your price range, and yes, the DM601 S2 would be the best for the rear to achieve a perfect match to the front. The S3 would be a better choice than the original 601, however it is still ... 
Powering PSB Synchrony Two Towers
but rather what specs I should look out for to narrow it down.Other than adequate power for your needs, the amp needs to be rated for use with 4 ohm speakers. It would also be good to see a substantial increase in power output from the 8 ohm ratin...

Sam, yes, use the 8 ohm setting in your 659 for the B&W's. Also, as you look for 601's, try to get the DM601 S2, and definitely stay away from the original 601, as it did not have the Nautilus tweeter tube like yours. At the time I was selling...

Sam, though missing the latest features, the Yamaha RX-V659 is a great AV receiver, and does have one of the best amplifier stages of units in its price range. It will have no trouble driving the B&W DM601’s, however once a subwoofer is added,... 
indoor speakers used oudoors
It's definitely a terrible idea. So many things to go wrong, and do you want to risk damage to your system?If you want to show off, bring people you trust into your home to show them the rig. You might discuss it first and see if they have interes... 
Where's the talk/reviews on the Emotiva UMC-200?
You seem to have a issue with AV surround receivers being built in China. Are you aware that the majority of Emotiva products are built in China as well? 
Does anyone own the T+A CRITERION TCD 110 S?
However, the mid bass seemed to be a bit distant.This may be a characteristic of the speaker since the Simaudio mono blocks have been described as being ballsy with a rich and robust bass. Are you thinking a different amp would solve the mid bass... 
Can speakers of a certain high caliber can ....
I have a pair of lowly JBL L5, 8 feet apart and hear point source imaging 8 feet outside the left speaker! Mind you it's when I play Roger Waters' 'Amused To Death'.That is primarily due to it being recorded in QSound.. 
preamp into integrated amp yes/no?
The Ayon does not have a phono input, only line level inputs, so an external phono stage will be necessary to use a turntable. The phono stage provides RIAA equalization and extra gain that is required for the cartridge. 
McIntosh MC240 Amplifier sound?
Have you checked to make sure all the input tubes are the correct ones? Also, during the restoration, were the replaced parts done with correct values? 
preamp into integrated amp yes/no?
The only possibility I can see is needing to use the PV7 for a phono stage. Then the turntable would connect to the PV7 and the PV7's tape/rec output would connect to an input on the Ayon. This should avoid the overload problem that Bob pointed out. 
Integrated Amp for Klipsch RF-7II
Right now the only one that seems to jump out at me is the Peachtree Nova125 but I'm hearing varying opinions on how loud it'll be able to crank.Anyone that doubts the loudness capability of the Peachtree Nova125/Klipsch RF-7II combo is just cluel... 
Sound issues
Sorry if I am wrong, but it sounds like you are saying the center is missing the highs and mids that are present in the towers. If so, have you checked to see if the tweeter in the center speaker is working? If not, cover the center's tweeter with... 
McIntosh MC240 Amplifier sound?
What speakers are you using? 
Stereo Amp w/t optical for Dynaudio DM 2/26
