Best floorstanding speakers under $2000
Hopefully, after almost 8 years, the OP made a decision. 
Tekton Impact Monitors vs Buchardt S300Mk2 and/or S400
The Buchardt’s are relatively new to the market. There’s very few reviews of them, and certainly few, if any, comparisons. Give it some time.  
Speakers: $3,000-$4,000 on Audiogon
I would like to think that after 10 years the OP has found some speakers.  
tonearm bearings. How do we attach cartridge without ruining bearings?
I’ve never given it much thought. I’d think that you would have to be pretty ham fisted to do any kind of damage.  
High-end TT setup with phono stage built in
The SME Synergy doesn’t really solve the OP’s goal as there’s still an extra box to deal with. Any of the true all-in-ones are entry level units. As already mentioned, the best compromise is getting one of the small form factor phono stages and mo... 
Cartridge weight.
You gonna make us guess? 
please help! which turntable , michell gyro se ,, pro ject rpm 10 carbon ,, avid diva 2 ?
If you just want something that you can buy, set up, and not deal with aftermarket upgrades, I suggest the Pro-Ject Xtension 10.  
Need help with Subwoofer upgrade
Don’t get sucked in chasing watts. I think REL is one of the best subs you can get for music.  
Rega RP8 or Pro-ject Xtension 10

Phonostages with Adjustable Curves, the Concise List
While not a dedicated phono stage, the Anthem STR integrated amp has multiple curves to choose from in its phono stage.  
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
I’m on the West coast, Dave is on the East coast. I’m basically housebound due to medical reasons and am forced to buy online, and ONLY from vendors with good return policies. Dave carries my current speakers and amp, along with many of the speake...

I'm currently using LS50's in a small (11x12x8) dedicated listening room. Power is the new Anthem STR integrated, with a REL T5 rounding out the bass. I'm interested in the AS-61's because I'm basically looking for a LS50 with more body. The refer... 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
And this is why I dislike unmoderated forums. I click on this thread because it’s about a pair of speakers that I’m very interested in, but instead I get a pi$$ing contest between members. Sad.  
Speaker recommendations
A little more info would help. That being said, I'm thoroughly enjoying my NAD375/KEF LS50 system.  
Speakers closest to Merlin ?
There's several used pair here on Audiogon. You also might want to reach out to Rich Brkich over at Signature Sound. He may be able to hook you up, or at least give you some viable alternatives.
