Your music system is an instrument.
Which end Boa? 
Have Jeff Rowland Concentra II am I crazy...
I bought one from bizzy bee with all the extras and used EH kt88's. Was a nice integrated but found the bass very loose and boomy, the focus switch didnt help that much. At 30 watts I wouldnt recomend it for a med to large size room. 
Can I ever stand to listen to our system again
My condolences for your loss Karel. Music soothes the soul and I beleive your wife would have agreed being a fellow audiophile herself. Play a few of your favourate ballads yourself when your ready and allow the healing to begin, god bless thru th... 
High end fuse box options??
Isoclean has a megabux fuse box but I dont see it on thier site. Check out Hi end palace's homepage here on agon and go to the 2nd page of the 2006 stereophile show. 
Best 60" flat panel?
I own the 1110 HD 50 inch Pioneer Elite plasma and absolutly love it, that is until I saw it in 60 inches. Looks almost twice as big as the 50 inch with the fit and finish of a Wilson in Piano Black. Should be a pic of it below in my systems below... 
Speaker Cable Termination
I would think bare wire is the way to go, contact cleaner should work for oxidization but just buy and extra few inches on both sides and clip an inch off every 2 years.

Thanks guys, I always respect and enjoy both your posts and follow your threads. I remeber the CAT thread on driving the MBL101e's and was interested in the watts vs current issue. I am opening an Audio shop in South Florida and have already secur... 
SET Amps and Maggies
Agree with Darkmoebius but your room size is also a 100% factor in this setup. I had the 12's in my bedroom 20 x 20 and found the maggies easily clipping my 200 wpc Mcintosh amp. The 240 watt classe cap151 didnt fare any better, however when I bro... 
Have Jeff Rowland Concentra II am I crazy...
I had amazing synergy with the Cary SLP98 and Tubed Mcintosh amp. Was using the MC275 and the Cary just brought it to life, the Audio Research LS25 mk1 with the 6922 tubes also sounded great. Pluck those stock tubes out of the 2102 if you want to ...

What pre/power amp for jm lab Mezzo's
I owned 3 JM labs including the Mezzos, always found solid state amps to be too harsh on the titanium tweeter, especially the Krell 400xi. Try the Mcintosh MA2275 or Airtight, or even the Jadis DA60 used if its within your budget. All 3 amps will ... 
Cary spl88 tubed pre owners
The Mc352 is one of the best SS amps I liked from Mcintosh and had good synergy with the Cary. I used the stock tubes and found it just a tad bright at higher volumes, dont know if I could even refer to it as bright but found it less linear than m... 
Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State
Original Mcintosh MC275 with vintage tubes will give you everything you've asked for and easily drive the Meadowlark. Ive gone full circle with Mcintosh and high quality SS designs and nothing beats the mac for smoothness, layering and a holograph... 
Choice of amplifier
The Mcintosh combo, but forget the c2200 and mk4 275. Just get the 2275 integrated and with the money you save buy a nice quad of genalex output tubes. Ive heard the 383 but not the Mcormack set you've mentioned. With the performance the MA2275 gi...
