Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L
I've got no experience with the Klyne 6L, but I can highly recommend the AI mod3a. I’ve been using the AI product for many years *(with no problems) starting with the mod3, then the mod3a, and now I use the mod3b. My preference has been to use the... 
Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music
I've been very impressed with e Marten Design speakers. I can highly recommend the Marten Miles III, in your price range. Very revealing, great PRaT, well worth investigating further. 
what should next upgrade to my analog system be?
Get a vpi sds and a digistrobe to keep your table spot on 33.3. If that doesn't kick it up a bit start saving... 
Mcintosh MC 252 vs. 402
Neither,I should start by saying I’ve been a long time Mac fan, but...I owned the MC352 and the MC402 at the same time and had the opportunity to A/B them side by side. Easily the 402 was the winner, with the 352 sounding very congested in compari... 
Jolida 102B - enough power for Smaller Advents?
I've been using my 102b (w/factor mods) with the Green Mountain Audio Europa Max’s with very nice results. Used GMA Europa (not the Max) sell for around $500. Great value for the money. 
Mapletree Ultra 4A SE - mods
Yes the Revelation umbilical cable makes a hugh difference... so a DIY progect could work nicely. However the power cord does make that large of a change. Also NOS tubes can make a big improvement as well. Love my 4A SE.Tony 
Best PreAmp match for a MC-7270?
I never been a fan of mac preamps; but I've owned 2 MC7270s and had great success pairing them with tube peamps from Conrad Johnson and Audible Illusions...Good luck.Tony 
Your input please: Using sub on 2 channel amp
Forget the sub and look at amp/speaker combo. I've got a tube system with Dynaudio Special 25s (88db pigs). I bought a Dynaudio Sub250 to fill in the bottom when I watch movies; I can't remember the last time I turned it on. Try working on your sp... 
Focal and Dr Who?

Krell / Mcintosh / Pass For Dynaudios
Go with the 501's and never look back... I'm driving my Special 25's with the MC402 and it's a great combo at all sound levels. 
Tubed Pre question?
It depends on your speakers as well... With my Dynaudio Special 25's I prefer a McIntosh SS (MC402) amp with my AI mod3b, for the speed and impact. With my Green Mountain Eurpoa Max I prefer an all tube setup. ANd from what I found some tube pream... 
What's the best Blu-Ray player for 300.-350.
I'm enjoying the new Samsung BD2500 with Netflix streaming... It's in your price range and HT mag have very nice things to say about it. 
Integrated for Green Mountain - Classe, Bel Canto
I've had very good results using a Jolida 102b (factery mods) with my Europa Max's... I'm considering moving up line for a little more power and a remote perhaps the 302BRC.Don't let Jolida's low entry pricve fool you. With the right tubes they so... 
Mapletree Preamp experiences?
I bought the 4A SE ultra with all the upgrades the good doctor had to order (about 6 months ago). I must say it’s a sleeper that can be upgraded to run with the big boys. I highly recommend the Revelation Audio umbilical cord as a worthwhile upgra... 
Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used
I would second the AI Mod3a but the company blows... worst customer service in the world. To bad because it's really a great product.
