Rookie, Considering Either Martin Logan XT60's OR Kef R700's Set Me Straight Folks!...
eag618: My room is kinda of small at 11x15 so the bass l am getting is well defined and deep enough for my satisfaction for the type of music i listen too being jazz, blues and rock. Imaging is great, as an example,  being able to tell if the drum...

Audio Video Therapy in Nashua NH is a Kef dealer. I just listened to the new R7 powered by the Naim Unity Nova. This combo was outstanding IMO. I own the R700's and drive them with the Primaluna Dialog HP integrated using the stock tubes. This IMO... 
NAD x Classé
Another option would be the new Parasound A52+. I purchased one about 3 months ago to power my Kefs R700, R600c & R300. Very nice amp IMO. Good luck with your search.

MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT.

Check out the reviews on Tellurium Q Black 11. I think a 2 meter pair falls within your budget.  
Cambridge Audio 740 cdp dying...suggested replacement?
Naim is another good choice. I think the model # is CD5s 
A proper stand
You could try Sound Anchor, Timbernation or Stands and Mounts.com. Sound Anchor and Timbernation will make one to fit your center channel.
