Infinity RS-II towers...How much are they worth?
Check the blue book on line or look at completed ebay auctions. 
Dynavector 10x5 what is next?
Thanks for posting the additional information. I had a system similar to yours and I think you should try a cartridge upgrade first. IMO speakers and cartridges make the most significant audible difference in a system.Best of luck finding the syst...

Dynavector 10x5 what is next?

Is any of this worth keeping or trying to sell?
The RTI remote, depending on the model may be worth something. I would google it before I sold it cheap in a lot sale. 
Dynavector 10x5 what is next?
Dynavector Karat 17D3 would be a good pick. I have used it with a Rega 25, Harbeth Compact 7, Quad amp/preamp and thought it sounded great. You have to be sure your phono preamp has about 60db of gain. 
Which Primaluna amp ?
I recommend you choose the most powerful in the series if you are going to buy Primaluna. The autobias feature is great. I also have Proac Response 2.5 and I think you will be happier selecting the model with the most power.

Advice on stand mount speakers
I suggest Proac Response D-2. I had a set of the original Response 2 in a room that size and was hapy for 9 years. I only changed when I moved to a larger room and I am not sure that was necessary. Plenty, but not too much bass and they will work ...

John Abercrombie - Timeless - TimelessKate Bush - 50 Words for Snow - Snowflake & Lake TahoeBoth of these take me to another place and I highly recommend them 
Phono advice for my current set up please?
I also think a cartridge upgrade would be a good idea. I am not sure how much you want to spend. I think an upgrade to a Dynavector 17D3, Shelter 501 or 901 would make a significant difference in your system. I know that it did in my system. You s... 
What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's?
10-20-12: DonjrDayglow. Right on with Wildfire and Chevy Van. I don't think they can even play Chevy Van on the radio any longer. I always thought those two songs were quite good.I heard Chevy Van on the radio earlier this week. Talk about going i...
