Advice on speakers for a vintage system
I wouldn't monkey with true vintage speakers (70s era)unless there is a specific model that intrigues you...however going used does reap some benefits...some suggestions: b&w matrix series, Boston acoustic VR series, Psb stratus series, Paradi... 
So sub or not to sub
Its all relative...depending upon room size...some monitors can deliver in large settings...others can benefit with the addition of some low end...I wouldn't consider it cheating...its hard to get everything one desires in one product(even so call... 
Paradigm studio 20 vs 60? Help please
I would concur the S2 is a substantial upgrade over the studio line IMHO...if you can swing it next upgrade...I played HOTEL CA and was floored by the clean, deep bass and very open sound.... 
Used turntable market
I only purchase used tables locally...shipping is too precarious for me...that being said...I have purchased NEW tables via parcel post...but they are packaged correctly, have return options, and warranties...hope this helps

FWIW...I bought an older Paradigm PW 2200 sub for a song...these were close to 800-1k awhile back...incredibly clean and punchy...much better than their lower end PDR series...

Cricklewood has the best of both worlds...energetic performaces....and studio grade sound...the live LPs are too muddy for me...to each his own....

Seeking Ten Years After song
Just picked up Cricklewood Green on original vinyl...great clarity, presence, and very vibrant, live like production... a stellar LP...SHHHH and space in time are also keepers....but this might be there best 
Wrong speakers
Would also vote for Vandersteen if tweeter output is a concern...they have "Contour Controls" on the back for this application...might come in handy....they also have a more spacious presentation than Thiels....which some might prefer... 
Wrong speakers
Not familiar with the amp in question...but it appears from feedback back above it is 4 ohm capable...I have heard other Thiel models with similar power behind them...and they sounded a awfully good imho...can u add an additional amp and use the E...

Cables are known to have the least effect on systems...then amps...once again back to speakers for depth and imaging....but dealers/consultants love to push hi end cables...huge mark up...then ofcourse one had to bi-wire...then bi-amp, etc
