"Bookshelf" speakers designed to be placed near the wall behind them?
I think the Proac Tablette 10 is supposed to work well when placed near a wall. 
Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp
I have an Icon Audio PS2, which is a stunningly beautiful combination with my Soundsmith Carmen and Audiomods arm.  I think Icon gear is still available from Music Direct. 
Neat Momentum SX5i or Rega RX5
I use Spendor S3/5 with my LM 211IA, and the sound is very nice in my modest sized room (I have a set of Quad 11L Classics which also work well).  I suspect that larger Spendor models would be compatible, and worth a listen if it can be arranged. 
Proac Tablette 10
I would like very much to find out how it compares to the Tablette Anniversary and similar models from Harbeth and Spendor. 
if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it?
I recently purchased an AudioMods tonearm, which is a drop-in replacement for the Rega.  I find it to be a significant improvement over my previous RB300.
