How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies
I use to have the Magnepan 3.6R passively bi-amped with VTL 200 watt triode on top and Bryston 7BST on the bottom. Very nice, but it is recommended that you use similar if not exact amps when Bi-amping or go to active bi-amping to reduce amp syner... 
cd player for CAP-2100/NHT 2.9 setup
I think the older Arcam CD23T would fit your bill very nicely. They can be had between $850-1100 used. There are maybe a few others in your price, but I would think this is one of nicest and it will hold it's value in the used market should you up... 
Kimber D-60 question.
I owned both, I am certain the one with the smaller RCA's is the newer version I called Kimber on that. Both sound the same. I kept the newer version with the smaller non-tapered RCA's for resale value which unfotunately came in to play recently.G... 
Powerful Push Pull Triode Amplifiers
I am sure there may be more but the VTL MB1250 seems one that comes to mind with 1250watts in Tetrode mode. Now that's one big room heater:)I am not sure what the power rating of the VTL Siegfried...I think 800 watts. Much better looking by the wa... 
Classe CAP-2100 enough power for NHT 2.9s?
Since you have the SA-3 amp try it I have had two running on a pair of 2.9s with great results. The Classe you have is 100 watts at 8ohms and double downs at 4 ohms. Given the 2.9's are 6ohm speakers I take it you'll have 150 watts powering either... 
Upgrade EAD processor or but newer...
Bill, does your Signature have the latest firmware orVFD display? If not then do that and keep the processor. Do you have a need for video switching? I think Cytocycle is correct in where you should spend the funds. You can only do 5.1 anyhow. 
Which is the best solid state poweramp under $9000
Uriah, I am sure the new MC-501 is a great amps. I have not heard it, but the reviews are positive. Before you spend some major $$ try actively biamping the 3.6R's with the CA400 on the bottom and 301 on top using a Byston 10B Sub crossover. Buy t... 
Repairing Aerial 10T Head units
Contact Mike at Aerial. He would be fairly up front with any ideas to repair or not. I have only seen pictures in some ads of the older head units cracking. Overall they were minor and did not affect the sound so I am told. However resale value ju... 
Benchmark DAC-1 vs. Bel Canto DAC-2
If I am not mistaken I thought the Benchmark DAC-1 came with a 30 or 60 day return policy. Give that a try

Mcintosh and magnepans
If you have not read any threads on this topic at the Audio asylum page you should. I have no experience with that combination, but have heard conflicting answers in a few threads at the planar(Magnepan)speaker asylum. http://www.audioasylum.com/f... 
Magnapan bi-ampable?
The MMG can not be bi-amped or Bi-wired with out modifications. You do not get the option of bi-wire or bi-amp until your reach the 1.6QR's. 
Are Magnepan MG-IIIa speakers problematic?
Problematic?Depends on whom you ask. Most have had very positive results with older Magnepans. Although Magnepans are not for everyone they can provide an incredibly musical experience for not a lot of $$. Do you have the room for placement option... 
plitron transformator for ead powermaster 2000.
I used to own the 20 amp PM2000 prior to moving to VTL tubes. The unit I had was not the latest version, but there were never any problems with humming or excess transformers noise which the Plitron transformer eliviated.I was told the Plitron tra...
