Used Preamp that sound as good as newer
look at the naim nac 82. it is very musical and will better the linn or counterpoint . 
Recommendation for inexpensive integrated
naim nait 3 usually 500-650 used low watts but clean usable power.very musical. 
What would be the weakest link in this setup
your cd player is the weakest link.source firstin all cases. 
Amp for Ruark Prologue II's?
naim nac112 and nap 180 are excellent with ruark.

Speakers with forward midrange?
psb stratus gold i has excellent sounding midrange 
HDCD, any new titles coming out?
neil young, mavericks and beck all were hdcd 
So, again, a question concerning amps.
all that you listed will drive the speakers however i wouldsteer clear of older classe they had reliability issues.agood choice would also be acurus little brother of aragon.also bryston is good match 
Which Naim CDP
cdx is a huge upgrade over cd3.5. cdx2 better but not muchthan cdx. xps takes both to higher level. 
Amplification with Harbeth Loudspeakers
i just auditioned naim audio 250 amp and 282 preamp and it sounded fantastic! 
CD Changer?
the source is the most important part of the sound chain.your new equipment will be handicapped by the changer.a single play high quailty cd is necessary to maximize yoursystem
