PMC IB1 Vs. Harbeth M40
both are nice, but the harbeths would be the keepers of the two. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
the best laid plans.....when i say 'east coast' i guess what i'm refering to is a flat response from top to bottom. no exageration of any one frequency. someone has a pair of limited 3.'s on the gon right now. one thing that i've noticed over the ... 
Should I purchase an expensive phono preamp
no..use the one provided on your pioneer until you upgrade the reciever.jaybo 
What should be the terms between buyer and seller
never use money orders, etc. no matter what the feedback. its better to pay the paypal fee. when someone does not have an account there is usually a soap opera and you don't want to be a castmember 
Best floorstanders under $1000 new or used

Bryston vs. PS Audio
the brystons 
starting from just about scratch w/ $600 to spend
a vintage thorens 160,166,145,147 etc. will compete with turntables in the 2k range, and the build quality and appeal will outlast anything newer for 600 bucks.

Next Turntable
lots of tables have poped up in the last decade, most the best values are still the old reliables...linn, oracle, well-tempered, sota, thorens(not the new thorens). of the newer models, the origin really stands out......the best table/arm buys on ... 
Space Tech vs. Bottlehead vs. Juicy Music???
all three are nice, but so is your 1060. several vintage marantz and mac integrateds are on a par with many of today's better separates. 
The New Outlaw Audio RR2150 stereo receiver ?
with 100w into 8ohms and almost twice that into 4, and a phono section that justifies more than the purchase price, any loudspeaker with reasonable efficency will do the trick. the monitor included.
