Best used CD player around $1500?
Creek Destiny CD player. It is often overlooked here, the more popular Destiny amp gets more press.It is a first rate CD player, especially at used prices.Easily competes with Naim CD5i, CD5X, and CDX. There is a new one here on Audiogon for $1699... 
Remotes: Who needs 'em?
Chill man. Personally I like the remotes, and I am not a lazy slob, I work out everyday.Sounds like you have more than a remote problem.Simple, either do not buy gear with a remote or throw it away, done. 
Naim 5i
Don't know about "inner details" Naim is not known for that sort of thing. You will get a better sound that may make you want to get up and dance.Naim and Totem work very well together. Many dealers carry both. I believe Totem has used Naim gear a...

I agree, best effort yet IMO.Reminded me of Shelby Lynne's latest too. 
Should I get advents?
Get them, I had a pair from mid 70s til about 1992.recently bought another pair on Ebay and refoamed the woofers myself. They sound great, makes me wonder about why I have spent so much on other more modern designs. They still compete with some of... 
Spendor s8e or Devoe Super 8
Devores. I own the Devore Gibbon 8s and 3s. I have previously owned Spendors, S5e, S3/5. and S35e. Devores sound much better to me. Much more lively and detailed. They will probably work better with tubes.
