Amp for Marsh p2000s and JM Lab Cobalt 807?
I think Wyred4Sound has a stereo amp in that price range. Highly recommended 
Speaker wire upgrade??
Clear Day solid core silver shotgun is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! BUT, he now has Double Shotgun. MSRP $500/8ft pr. I just got a pair and will be trading in my 2 regular silver shotgun pairs 
Best Integrated Amp? Help...
PS Audio GCC 250 or 500. I am using a GCC 250 on my video system. It's overkill there but for a music system it's fab 
How much better are MFSL disks?
I own a number of MFSLs, some gold. As my system improves they sound better and better 
Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp?
Best buy is a PS Audio GCP 200/GCPS. It's differentially balanced, uses gain cells for volume control and has full function remote.SS does require experimenting with iso devices, power cords, interconnects and speaker cables to get a tube-like war... 
I've $4k to spend on used speakers for big room

Raysonic 168 variable tube out is soooo good I eliminated my $4K preamp 
I need some speaker help
Good advice. He should have clarified... when an amp is driven to clipping (distortion) that's a nasty load to a loudspeaker. You probably need a much bigger amp. Search here for Wyred4Sound amps. Clean, powerful and ballsy. 
Need guidance on isolation devices
Defintiey Herbies- isocup/balls, Big Fat Dots, etc. all work miracles 
Need Amp for BE-718, any suggestions?
I have 6311s & owned 6371s. They like power. Consider Wyred4Sound and definitely biwire them. For that definitely check out Clear Day solid core cables. I swear by his silver shotgun. Still under $400. He advertises here, or email vonwaffen@ju... 
Time for a change
Usher 6311s then add a powered sub as extra money comes available 
speakers for classical music
Most any maggie, assuming you have the room to let them breathe, but that is true for any speaker. You need a good size room and room around the speakers to develop a proper sound stage. Add to them powered sub. Better still biamp and add a Behrin...
