Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks
If you want bright speakers take Vandersteen off your list. They are far from bright! 
subwoofer to match with my bookshelf/monitors
The SVS SB 1000 is a great match with monitors. They have a 45 day in home trial and free shipping! I have used it with Harbeth and Spendor and it blends perfect with them.

Used tube or hybrid pre-amp around $500

Mismatched preamp and CD player?
I would place them between the CD player and the preamp. BTW, I use an attenuator between my tuner and preamp to tone down the volume. Give them a shot. Like I said, you can always return them if they don’t do the job.

You can try these in line attenuators. If they don’t do the job you can return them.http://www.parts-express.com/harrison-labs-12-db-rca-line-level-audio-attenuator-pair--266-244

Building second system around Harbeth P3 esr
Any cartridge with an output of 1.5 mv or more will have enough gain for the Croft. A high output mc is made to use with a mm input on any phono section. 
Downsizing from VPI HW-19
What tone-arm are you using with the VPI ? If the VPI has a sping suspension you should replace the springs with some sorbothane pucks ! 
what cartridge do you use with the Mayware formula 4 MK 3 arm
The Shure should work fine.http://www.vinylengine.com/library/mayware/formula-iv.shtml 
How do i tell if i have a failed tube in my preamp?
Just to make sure try swapping the speakers.
