legends and new preamp choice...
Wyred4Aound is working on a preamp now, if you can wait.I use my Raysonic 168's balanced tube outs directly into my amps. It's hard to beat, but can be modded by Underwood HiFi 
Speakers for classical using my SET rig?
Usher 6311s should be a very good choice or Reference 3A- decapos (satellite) or their floor=standers 
Integrated or Receiver for Sonus Faber Concertos
PS Audio GCC 250 or 500. Priced right and outstanding sonics. Google reviews for GCC 100 
Lector CDP 7 Mk I, II or III ?
I owned the Lector CD 7T Mk 1. I sold it and got a Bluenote Stibbert Mk II, sold it and am now very happy with my Raysonic 168 
Integrated amplifier for Magneplanar SMGA
Defintiely PS Audio GCC series. Minimum GCC 250. It has HT bypass, plenty of inputs, both XLR and RCA. The Gain Cell is the best volume control existing, AND it has polarity control on the remote 
is too large a room no good?
I too have a large challenging room 18 X 31 with 12 ft peak open beam ceiling, tile floors over concrete, lots of glass, plus an open stair well up/down.If possible, position the speakers along the short wall. If not, then midway (or less) and fir... 
Integrateds: Sim I-7, BAT 300xSE, Pass
Outside the box, google PS Audio GCC 100, but get a 250 
Need recommendation for new CD/SACD player
I have owned several upscale CD/SACD players. They all had problems, and all had inferior CD playback. I think the Oppo and a DAC is probably your best bet. Check out PS Audio DAC 3 moded by Cullen Circuits 
SS quality pre-amp with HT bypass-suggestions?
See vonwaffen ad. He's selling a PS Audio GCP 200/GCPS.It's the very best 2 channel pre you can buy under $2K. It has HT bypass, is fully balanced, has RCA/XLR I/Os AND polarity control on the remote!Search PS Audio and you will find his ad 
What 6922's tubes are you using in your lamm s ?
I bought 4 Russian cryoed 6922s from Tubemandotcom for my Raysonic 168 CD player. Since it has variable XLR outs I use it instead of a preamp- GREAT TUBES 
Where to buy nice audio chairs / loveseats?
First you want as much air around the chairs as possible- no thick padding. Best if legs are exposed and air can pass under the seats. Scan Design or knockoffs with separate ottoman is a good way to go 
How can we settle for digital?
I have a Raysonic 168 with cryoed NOS Russian 6922s. I use the variable tube XLR outs to an active XO, biamping Magnean 3.5Rs with Wyred4Sound amplification. I get to hear super expensive analog at a friend's house and will gladly trade his sound ... 
What amps for Maggies?
Wyred4Sound. I use these on my Maggie 3.5Rs and have taken them to the president of Scaena Loudspeakers. On $44K+ speakers they were AMAZING! 
$1500 amp budget for Revels HT setup
You can buy new! Go to Underwood HiFi and cehck out the Wyred4Sound amps.
