Adding additoinal subwoofer to system
I would be very inclined to stick with one additional sub with an identical hookup or y cable. 
speaker's for a 6 year old JVC D500
I think you have 2 choices: 1-buy what mglik is suggesting. or, 2-get a quality receiver and speakers that you can grow in to. 
Sealed Monitor Speakers
Also, sealed speakers tend to be fairly inefficient. 87db is usually common. 
speaker's for a 6 year old JVC D500
An old cheap receiver will very possibly sound old and cheap. Now an old vintage piece like Sansui or Marantz will work with a decently little pair of speakers. However, where will you put the beast? You can get little Klipsch promedia or Cambridg... 
Need to replace my Totem Acoustic Arros
Vandy's are power hungry.I'd second Coincidents. 7 watts is plenty with them, very detialed, accurate, fast and beautiful.

Preamp comparison- need help
Consider some of the other AR's with tube phono stages, 6C, 2B and so on...you won't believe the quality of the phono stages. 
Vandersteen 2CE or 1C for small room?
The 2CE needs to be away from any walls to sound best, 2-3 feet minimum. In a room 10 x 10, using the 2's would be like wearing giant headphones. 3 feet from each wall and your head 2-3 feet from any wall-I call that near field listening. 
Using a Pre-Out to Bi-amp

shipping heavy amps - Canada to US?
Canada post sucks! period.Fedex and ups can ship but it's expensive.If they can drive across the border, that's the best way. It's up to them if they want to declare the amps at customs. If they are smart, they will declare them. They will need a ...
