Aerial model 5 woofer replacement
Why wouldn't you call an Aerial?  They likely have some spares.  
3x mono (vintage) 1x budget (more modern)
Keep the MA500’s.  Those are great little amps  
Raidho D2.1 Paired With Thrax Ares mk2

I'd prefer new.    
Another request for Streamer Transport options
I was about to mention the Wattson Madison as well.  I plan to audition one soon.  I’ve been very happy with my Lumin U1 Mini which I believe is a Hong Kong product. Like you, I prefer to avoid Chinese products when possible. Good luck with your...
