If I want a bookshelf system this good, what should I buy?
If you like the Luxman sound you could look for a more modestly priced used Luxman L-507u. Another good choice would be the Vincent SV-237 - nicely made, solid piece with plenty of power (150 at 8 ohm) for your speaker choice. The Vincent is $2500... 
Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup?
I think you are rolling the dice with the Muzishare X7.  The review that was linked by @twoleftears points out that the amp really comes to life with speakers like Klipsch and Tekton and sounded kind of dull with other speakers that were tried.  Y... 
Harbeth Compact 7's on the way: Amp suggestions?
At the Bristol HiFi Show 2019, Alan Shaw expressed a preference for Hegel when showing the Compact 7’s 
Comparable quality integrated Amplifier.
Take a look at the Rogue Audio Sphinx v2. It includes a 12au7 tubed line stage. You should be able to find a v2 in your price range. I like the Vincent Audio suggestion as well.

There is a mint, low hour Simaudio Moon 340i for sale on USAM. This is a really well made, great sounding integrated (100W doubles to 200W into 4ohms). I would pair this with the Bluesound Node 2i that @soix suggested.

Agree with previous posts indicating that you need an amp that can handle a 2 ohm load. The Vincent is a solid choice.  There also seems to be a lot of love in this forum (and on 6moons) for the Kinki Studio EX-M1. 
Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d
Really nice, dealer demo, low hour VTL IT 85 for sale on US audio mart with full warranty.. I’m not affiliated with sale. I think this would also be a great choice.

A lot of good suggestions here..there is a nice used Ayon Spirit III gen IV for sale on Audiogon right now that would probably give you enough power in either pentode or triode mode depending on your preference 
used Integrated tube amp under $1500 for Klipsch Cornwall III's?
You have a pretty large room (10x30) and you need an amp that can also control the large woofer.. not sure that I would start with a low power SET... I think a push-pull in the 15-20W range is a safer bet.. check out some of the online Klipsch Com...

Take a look at the Omega Compact Alnico Monitor. The CAM is able to be close to a backing wall and your Primaluna will have no problems driving it.

Check out any of the three cds offered by Tonian Labs 
Speaker recommendation for SET tube amp MASTERSOUND
Since you stressed that aesthetics are very important and price does not seem to be a factor, the Voxativ Zeth or Zeth-B may work for you
