Speaker Audition
Curious to hear your impressions of speakers you list. From list sounds like there is a considerable audiophile audience in Thailand. 
Any Bluesound Node2 owners
I am with @amg56. Although my system costs roughly a magnitude less than his main one.   
BlueSound Stinks(!), anyone?
I have a Bluesound Vault 2, which with respect to streaming and DAC is same as Node 2. Very happy with operation of app. And, very happy with sound. @fuzztone and @gdnrbob have informed guidance. 
What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities?
+1 @patrickdowns 
Preamp recommendation
OPWell then... trust your ears...(referring to your sound experience when your friend brought over JC2) 
Preamp recommendation
I use a Parasound JC2 in my system, and am very happy with sound. It is paired with a modded A21. Replaced stock fuses with HiFi Tuning Supreme, which is a tweak you might consider. Biggest bang was from replacing fuse at back, but replacing fuses... 
Where are the cheap home streamers?
Bluesound Node2i is a little north of $500. Not cheap. But not expensive. Remarkable sound for price. It is source for my system, which terminates in Vandersteen Quatro Wood CTs. Happy with sound so far.Have yet to hear it bettered in shootout at ...

Your approach has my attention. Here is an audiophile who finds fewer components of interest. Since each component requires connectors and a power cord, and they are important, to my ears, a small number of component means you can invest more in e... 
A move from Harbeth to... Wilson?
 For investment in that league, would make sense to listen more widely before making the jump. Consider Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT at substantially less cost than Sabrina X. Sound to my ears is more lifelike than Wilsons.  
High end stereo preamps? Worth it?
Parasound Halo JC2BP provides a sublime preparation of the signal at $4,500.  
Next Best Upgrade for Tidal MQA?
My source is Bluesound Vault streaming Tidal and Quboz. Sends signal to JC2BP and then A21. Have yet to hear a DAC/streamer that beats out Vault plus JC2BP combo in shootout. DAC/streamer costs were in 2-4K range I believe. JC2BP is fine.
