Best speakers in 2k-3k price point
2500.00 aprox. 
Speakers with bass response?
Sell the N and pick up Matrix 802 Series 3 for around 2500.00. You will have your bass and save some money. Do not get a sub. A DAC may be money better spent or a Rega CD player. IMO 
demo or nice used pre/pro & amp
I'd wait till March. The new Aragon will be out and you should be able to pick up a used Soundstage cheap. 
what makes SME arms so special ??
??? I went with the full blown Origin Live RB250. What an arm for the money. 
New Aragon Stage One Pre/Pro - Should I wait?
I am confident Aragon will not dissapoint at their price point. 
Turntable suggestions?
I was in the same situation with over 1000 LP's. I got a tremendous amount of advice and finally settled on the following: Michell Gyro SE II: http://www.michell-engineering.co.uk/tur1.html#gyroseOrigin Live RB250: http://www.tonearm.co.uk/index.h... 
What is stopping the ultimate?
I agree with Albert. The recording industry has got to get their act together. I can't believe how good the music quality is on some recordings. My equipment completely disappears. We can always buy better hardware and this is a never ending quest... 
What amp/preamp to drive Mirage m1si's ??
Aragon 
Help/ opinions on my H/T setup??
If your DVD player has a built in Dolby/DTS decoder, look at YBA AUDIO REFINEMENT PRE-5. $800.00. Most new DVD players in the next year of two will probably be DVD-Audio as well so there will be a great need for pre-amos with 5.1 inputs like the YBA. 
200w/ch stereo amps: best 1 for under 2000 used?
Aragon 4004 MKII used for around 800.00 each or else go for BAT.
