Differences between cable sound.
+1 on the copper.... Silver cables are only for master chefs of audio synergy. 
Setting up dual subwoofers to a two channel amp.
Tjkurita,Go fourth and add deep bass! Post again after set up and let us know how it worked out. 
Will a Proceed AMP handle LPCM input?
Dtc,I assume you meant DIGITAL Dolby when talking about the original and the mkII version. Otherwise you are discussing the analog versions."S/PDIF can only carry 2 channels of LCPM." FWIU that is correct. 
Any Value for these Items? Adcom/Krell
B&W supplied a Bass Alignment Filter with much of there 800 series speakers. Don't think Krell had anything to do with it unless they offered a upgrade for the filter. Either way there is not much use for it unless you get the B&W speakers... 
Burn in Step up transformer with ipod.
Line level signals are usually around 1 volt so probably not a big deal. However if the voltage is high enough you will saturate the the core of tranny. If done for extended periods you will eventually do damage to it.Also, if your phono stage is ... 
Setting up dual subwoofers to a two channel amp.
Kelvinswy's hook up and mine are very similar. IMO, Going line level (main output on the preamp)instead of speaker level is better and will give you the added flexibility needed to match the horns to the subs.I did not mention it earlier as you do... 
Will a Proceed AMP handle LPCM input?
Mezmo's understanding is correct. At the risk of oversimplifying, LPCM is basically two channel audio up to CD redbook standards. For any surround codecs such as Dolby Digital or DTS you will be dealing with "bitstream" not LPCM.So if you are look... 
Will a Proceed AMP handle LPCM input?
Could not find a definitive answer in the owners manual. If it won't there are lots of little black box adapters for $50 or less that will. 
Setting up dual subwoofers to a two channel amp.
"Does this method we are talking about have a bad effect on the full range sound?"IMO, No if you can get it set up properly. Possible issues that may come up are; any overlap of the main speakers and subs as well as phase issues at the crossover p... 
Speaker cable and brightness control
It would help to know what speaker wires as well as IC's that you are using now.If they are of the stranded variety I suggest you try some solid core.However, IMO, you should list what tubes you are using in your DAC and Hybrid amp. There are stil... 
Setting up dual subwoofers to a two channel amp.
We need to clarify. When you say high level do you mean speaker level or preamp level?From your last post it sounds like you are considering running the speaker hook ups on the amp to the "speaker level inputs" on the sub and then from that spot c... 
Setting up dual subwoofers to a two channel amp.
If I understand what you are asking. The subs do not need both channels. Send the left channel to the left sub and the right channel to the right sub. If each sub needs both inputs to have signal than use a Y cord at the input (its been a long tim... 
Burn in Step up transformer with ipod.
I dont think i can get the output to be as low as .2mv. I estimate at low volume the ipod would be pumping out 5-10mv. I have just finished a 24hr burn in session using my ipod and to my relief, no damage. I cant say whether it has improved the so... 
Magnepan 1.7 Tweeter issue ...
IIRC the panels are fused. 
Burn in Step up transformer with ipod.
If you turn the volume down to what a typical low output moving coil puts out it should work fine.Anything around .2mv would be good. To much voltage will saturate the step up tranny.
