Beware of PayPal fees
The other charges are the conversion rates changing currency. 3 to 4% is the part you should be concerned with. What a rip off. 
Richard Gray and Transparent: compatible?
I have the RG 600S (replaced a Nordost QB4) and it works just fine.

New Forum Format Sucks
I agree. The new one sucks. 
Need Tube Preamp Warmth
A tube AMP is what you will need. Along with a tube pre. 
Best near wall high end speaker
If you can go 9 inches from the back wall Linn Majik 140's are good sounding for the price. Way less than you have to spend.
