Focal Maestro Utopia , need advice for AMP/PRE
Pelo911, X350.5 should be more than enough. I use Burmester 032 (I haven't updated my page yet). Though 032 is being strained at times (it is only 170W into 4ohms). If I were you, I would first break in the speakers with your current amp and consi...

Wilson Audio Duette - Burmester amps?
I can not help with Wilson speakers. However, you are wrong about 001 having a preamp. It has digital in so you won't be able to connect your TT. What you should do instead is get 911 and use 051 as pre. 
50's Jazz Club Sounding Songs?
Not so 50's (1996 actually), but try "Night and the City" : Kenny Barron and Charlie Haden.
