I bought my PH10 new for under $1300. Soon will buy the power supply.Love my PH10. 
Do McIntosh dealers give discount on new models?
Agree you should get 10-15% at least if buying 2 or 3 items then 20% would be reasonable.  
Which power cords should I look at?
Do some research, a not well known co in the States, Audiomica Laboratory, got some "best buy award" in 2018 in China!

"Consider the check written"Yeah at the accommodation price I'm sure it is worth it. For us mortals well? 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
"They sound pretty good" At their asking price they should sound fantastic! 
Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos
I've heard several Pass amps over the years, great build quality but each time they never moved me. It's like there was no soul to the music. YMMV 
Best turntable and arm under 10k?
Read this thread:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/kuzma-koetsu-feedbakKuzma tables are wonderful but don't get much love. Well worth the $$ 
Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience
I get 20% off and even more depending on how much I buy. If you pay list look elsewhere. 
OPINIONS PLEASE - Phonostage for new Rega P8/Apheta 2 - Sutherland 20/20 or Allnic 1201
@fsmithjack have you researched the Gold Note PH10? Look at Positive Feedback online they did 3 consecutive reviews they loved it that much. Also many, many other reviews. Search these forums as well. 
For the rest of my life Ypsilon or Luxman?
 If I had the real estate (and money) I'd be getting the Bricasti M28 monoblocks. Best amps I've heard but unfortunately out of my price range. Many recording studios use these b/c they are so neutral, they let you hear the recording to their full...

GREAT system! Have you considered the Gold Note PH10 it's very versatile and can be bought new for under $1300. It also has an optional external power supply although I've not heard that unit myself. 
Electrostatic Speakers
+++1 Sanders 10e. I don't own them yet but have heard them many times, just lovely. They will be my next speaker.

Another vote for the Sanders speakers. I believe he warranties them for life (his life...lol) but try and find someone who owns them and have a listen. 
Nature of the current used speaker market
My dealer told me this many years ago."Do you know how to make 1 million $ in Hi-End Audio? Start with 2 million $"
