Rega RP8 or Pro-ject Xtension 10
The SME 10 is more than twice the price of the Rega RP8! 
Hafler DH500
Check out Odyssey Audio. It won’t break the bank!http://www.odysseyaudio.com/ 
Y No YG ?
Probably the same reason you never see one of these at the local Friday night cruise night!https://www.caranddriver.com/mclaren 
Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker?
I have the Spendor A5r 2.5 speaker. If it has 2 crossovers, 900 HZ and 3.2 HZ. I still don’t understand why this is not called a 3 way speaker? BTW, the bass is outstanding on the s 5 inch woofers! 
where are Primare products manufactured?
Give this dealer a call and ask where Primare is made. Most likely the answer will be China.http://www.uptownaudio.com/Primare/Primare_audio.htm 
Stands?
Check out Sanus stands!https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/sb1/sanus-speaker-stands-c431590-a35~79.html?refid=GX249591083453....

Am I dreaming?
Check out Yamaha! http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/yamaha-a-s3000-integrated-amplifier/https://www.crutchfield.com/S-xXMMARHOgn7/shopsearch/yamaha_amplifier.html?XVINQ=SX2&XVVer=YJQ&a... 
Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II and What Bookshelf Speakers
The Harbeth C7 is about $3500. If you listen to mostly rock you should check JBL. Some of their book shelf speakers are within your budget!https://www.musicdirect.com/Search?searchterm=jbl&sort=popularity%7CDESC&page=1&pagesize... 
Romex and breaker switches
+1 yogiboyWhy would anyone need 7 dedicated lines in one room? That is ridiculous! 
Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition)
Another brand to research is Van Alstine. Fet amps are nice!https://avahifi.com/collections/solid-state-power-amplifiers 
Question for tube aficionados
Never sub a 12 type tube for a 6 type tube. The number is the voltage. Hence 12ax7 is 12 volts! BTW, a 5751 has 30% less gain than a 12AX7! 
Floorstandings to go w/ Peachtree Nova 300?
There is a nice pair of Spendor A5s listed here in your price range. Spendors are great with classical and jazz!
