Simon, I would do exactly as recommended by Atmasphere. Mine had to be shipped and this is probably where they went. It took a while for them to break in after having the surrounds replaced, then they sounded as I remembered them.

I had mine professionally refoamed. They look and sound great. I live in Phoenix, AZ and the Audio Doctor took care of it for me. The cost was about $200 including having him remove the speakers (they were stuck), shipping and reinstallation. I am...

Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used
A pair of Proac Response 2 sold recently on ebay for under $1,000. I own this speaker and have for a long time. I would recommend you look for a pair on the used market. There are reviews available on line.

If possible you should see if your local dealer will allow you a loaner for a "test drive" on a cartridge. If you purchased other equipment from them, and they are currently using a model you want as a demo, this should not be a problem. What coun...

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. See below for another recommendation for the 17D3 ($1,150) or XX-2 ($1,950). Retail prices shown for your r...

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 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.
