Subwoofer suggestions for budget system?
After running out of funds I picked up a couple of Sony 12" subs for $50 each on Craigslist to pair with my Maggie 3.7i . I set the subs at about 50 hz and keep their volume low as not to get any boominess and run the 3 7i full range they integrat... 
Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System?
No need to tell, those who are fellow audiophiles know those who aren’t don’t care.  
Magnepan LRS in the house!
Congratulations Maggie's are magnificent. It will be interesting to hear the comparison when the + arrive especially with the same stands.      
The Beatles Revolver
I read Martin wasn't doing anything to the mono so it should sound the same as the last reissue.  
The Killer Has Died
He and Little Richard were rock & roll.  
Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile?
MF hasn't retired but moved to TAS. Yes it is sometimes cheaper to renew with a different magazine seller.

Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor?
If you have the space give the Magnepan 20 and 30 series a listen they are always compared to speakers costing much more.  
To pricey
You may want to take a listen to the new 700 series TAS reports that they sound terrific almost reaching the 800 series in sound at a fraction of the price.  
Manley Chinook - setting for Ortofon Quintet Black S
If you call the manufacturer they can usually be very helpful with suggestions on settings.  
Subwoofer cables
Agree with Monoprice cable they also have good sounding XLR cables.  
Environment for Magnapan LRS
Looks like you'll have plenty of power. I'm unsure what the carpet on the wall will do as Magnepan usually recommends diffusers. In a room that size you may want to try a 1.7i or 3.7i if budget permits. Remember to experiment with speaker placemen... 
Magnapan LRS with subs
I would think that would be a good starting point then you can do adjustments that your ears tell you to.
