$10K-15K short list?
Consider Daedalus Argos, excellent, near, full range speaker.  
CD players = dead?
I finally purchased a DAC, and then a server I thought the sound was as good as my CDP, so I sold my CDP. I still enjoy listing to CD'S so I went with the Cambridge transport and now have the best of both formats. I don't think CD's are going away... 
Subwoofer recommendation
Add a pair of Rythmik F-12G subs and be done. Excellent performance at around 1k. That's my biased 2c. 
Strange classified responses
E-Bay sucks for sellers, they charge 10% fee when sold and 10% fee on shipping costs. I have an AVR  listed there, and on other sites, and so far, like the OP, a parade of tire kickers  and low ballers with very strange questions.  So it's not the... 
Looking at sub $200 power cables.
Can't go wrong with Pangea, well made affordable quality PC. I have them throughout my system and they are a nice step up from stock PC's.  
Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars
If you don't mind independent dealers then Salk, Selah and Daedalus all make fine speakers in your price range.  
Tips on dealing with audio dealers
Typically the manufacturer ships the product to their dealer....then the dealer ships it to you. This isn’t a loaner program, you now own it. Some audio stores will have gear that they may send you, but each one will have their own rules and condi... 
morrow ma1 interconnect
I do not get the anger from the OP? He purchased an entry level cable, doesn't like it. So just sell the damn thing. There is no need to thrash Morrow cable, just so that you can express your dissatisfaction that the cable failed to meet your stan... 
Help choosing integrated
The Modwright KWI-200 is also worth putting on your list. The Modwright IA has plenty of power to drive your Focal's (very fine speakers) to audio bliss. This IA has a tilt to the warm side and in the used market is well below the price points of ... 
Resonessence Mirus Pro DAC review
@ calvinjSo far the Veritas is a fine DAC. My main use for it is for Red Book playback only, so far no streaming. I was looking for a DAC that sounded as good as my Esoteric CDP and I have not been disappointed. The sound is nice and clean. . .  i... 
Resonessence Mirus Pro DAC review
Very nice write up on the Mirus DAC.I have it's  little brother the "Veritas" which has a single  ESS9028PRO DAC chip, instead of the dual DAC chip in the Mirus Pro.  
Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) Platforms
Why not Timbernation racks? Made from solid hards woods and can be customized to fit your needs.  
Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures
I would suspect the Moon amps will be as good or better than the IA since the PA/Amp will be separated. The IA is no slouch by any means, but you would need to stay in the same line, of amps, to get a fair comparison. Moon’s Evolution series amps ... 
Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures
Moon amps mate very well with Dynaudio. I  listened to a C-4 driven by a Moon 600i in a huge room and it was very impressive, the entire room was immersed in great sound.  
What CD player/transport has the most stable mechanism?
I'll pile on too, Esoteric is the way to go.
