Where is my weakest link?
As far as I know your pre has two sets of outs that you can use at the same time.You can get SS BAT VK500 to drive the bottom if your speakers are bi-wireable. You will need an attenuator passive or active to tame the gain of VK500.If you don't ha... 
Best sounding reggae on analog?
I remember when my friend spinned me a record that I was stunned by its dareness to turn famous Led Zeppeling songs onto Raggae.This band is called Dred Zeppelin and the album is Un-Led-Ed.Highly Rec-O-Men-Ded. 
Tweeter below mid-woofer

Halo Audio SET amps,,,,,,,,any one heard of em' ??
I don't have too much trust to Audio Oasis that they would give you any kind of service after you buy their new item.I had Halo passive preamp with noisy attenuator that they still sending to me for about two and half years. Well not anymore I nee...

Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage
Can't say anything of Trivista models of MF but all previous models seems to me too much overrated and do not correspond to the real power ratings.I guess that the budget choice should be McCormack separates such as DNA2 with TLC or any passive pr... 
Tweeter below mid-woofer
It's quite evident for me since there's no perfect tweeter.I've done experiments with different tweeters from different speakers(yes, driving only tweeters with my almost perfect musical hearing as a former musician) and lemme tell ya that every t...

Amp for Wilson Watt Puppy 7
I heard them on CES two years ago with VTL MB450. Triode and Tetrode switching were demoed as well. Higher power was more beneficial probably due to the huge room size where they were demoed.I'd go for minimum 100W per side to play these speakers. 
friend is looking for good $800-$1200 cd player
Dmitrydr,Upgrading to accept IEC cords more-likely will be pointless unless you wish to use longer cord. This general rule of thumb can be applied to any NAD electronics since the wall AC influence problems are taken care of inside their boxes. 
The best DAC for the money
I'd recommend you the one for $0 and the rest $3k to spread over Sim separates.

No need to spend $800. your friend can get Nad 541i or Cambridge D500SE for much less with great performance and functions.
