good power cord under $200
Morrow Audio PCs are terrific value. He advertises here 
2-ways and 3-ways
If the "3" is the bass then 2 way is superior. Why? Bass does not load in a room in the same physical location as the highs and mids. Also, as mentioned, the XO is more complex and fixed, whereas powered subs have separate control for volume, XO p... 
Tubes and light weight bass
YOur tube pre (or CD player) may have inverted polarity/phase. Meaning you need to switch the +/- speaker leads at the speakers 
Is cheap, smooth, digital sound possible?
There's a Raysonic 128 for sale here. JUMP on it 
Downgrading from JC-1's...which amp should I get?

6 meters of balanced is ok to use with euphoria???
You will have signal loss.

Best speaker cables for Reference 3a speakers
I owned de Capos years ago- GREAT SPEAKERS! Keep in mind "Best" means different things to different people. If you want a giant killer get 2 sets Clear Day Solid Core Silver shotgun with bananas. If you can't afford both sets then get one and have... 
Considering a change. Avantgarde for Wilson.
When the basic system is revealing the little things really matter- tube rolling, Herbies Tube Dampeners, vib control- even in the rack (if you have one). I filled my Solid Steel rack with play sand and it still rang, so I stuck a bunch of Moretig...

Near Full Range, Highly efficient Stand Monitors?
Reference 3 A MM de Capos- killer and just one cap as a crossover to the tweeter, biwire/biampable. Huge sound stage.
