5 best selling newish speaker brands in 2013?
I love my Harbeth C7es3's. The new 30.1 is pricey but I've heard them and they do sound excellent IMO. 
Amp with best bass control
My amp has better bass control than all of your hunk a junkers and I'm not going to tell you what it is because I'm the only one who believes me. It's tight, taught and dips down well below an Oprah Winfrey stomach growl.

One of my best tweaks....a new listening chair
What is this chair you speak of? 
CODA CSIb vs. HEGEL H-300 INTEGRATED
Jriggy, what tube integrated do you have?

Harbeth P3esr will work well for what you're trying to accomplish. You can add a sub later if you feel you need one. Pair them with a Luxman of LFD integrated amp and a good source.

The Gear to drive Mini Maggies
If you have no other future plans for the 28bsst2's than powering this desktop system, you don't need them. They're way too powerful. You're on the right track with a Bryston and Maggie combo. 
Tubes vs Solid State
I love them both. Honestly for me it's all about the music. When I set out to buy a new amp (integrated in my case), I don't have my mind set on whether it's going to be a tube or solid state. Listening to my music determines that. I bought my Rog... 
Hegel h200 low level listening
Guys and gals, I pulled the trigger on the H200 today. Now the wait. To say I'm excited would be an understatement. I've been trying to find an ss integrated that I liked more than the H200 for a long time now and it never came along for me. The m...
