Phono amp compatibility with integrated
http://www.quicksilveraudio.com/products/phono.htmlThis is the phono preamp I use with my low output Grado’s. Take a look at the instruction manual. This one just might  do the trick for you! 
Any opinions on a possible switch from Von Schweikert VR-1 to Spendor SA1 speakers?
I’ve owned many Spendors over the years. The only Spendor I did not like was the SA1. It was way too bright for my taste. I can’t comment on the VR-1 having never heard it! If you like a speaker that is on the bright side you just might like the SA1. 
From everything I read
Within five years that Mac will become just another dust collector. Sad but true! 
Choice: ATI 3000 or ODYSSEY STRATOS PLUS ?

The smaller Harbeth P3ESR or the Spendor 3/5R2 with their sealed woofers would be a nice fit in a small room like yours! 
Best speakers for $3000
Check out the Spendor A5R. I’ve owned a few Spendor floorstanders and I think they would fit the bill!

Help me understand tonearm/cartridge compatibility, please!
You need to get a test record that has a arm and cartridge resonance frequency band. I use the Shure TTR115 ERA IV. This can be had on Ebay for less than 20 bucks. It is the most valuable tool you can get for testing arm and cartridge compatibilit...

Sub woofer Hook Up
More useful feedback?  I showed the OP every possible method  to hook up a subwoofer. Read! 
Leaving feedback
The sale was made outside of Audiogon. The seller would have to cancel the listing to do that. Feedback can not be exchanged on an item that is not listed! Audiogon never received the selling fee.  They are not running a business for free! 
Sub woofer Hook Up
You can only use one cable if you have an A/V receiver. If you have a separate preamp and amp you will have to do this! It gives you all the options you will need!https://system.na1.netsuite.com/core/media/media.nl?id=69175&c=3634088&h=a2a... 
What Sensitivity with Tube Components?
There are plenty of speakers in that price range that are outstanding. You should take a gander at Harbeth,Spendor,etc. I think a sealed two way monitor will give you a satisfying musical experience! 
What Sensitivity with Tube Components?
If brightness is your problem it is the B&W speakers. With the free-mounted  aluminum tweeter you can change your gear till the cows come home and they will always be bright. My friend had the 805’s and they would drive you right  out of the r...
