Triangle Competitors?
Have you heard Klipsch Heresy? I have a factory custom pair of H3s in rosewood. Does that count? Nothing special sonically, just nostalgia.   
Impedance Matching Confusion
What amp?  
Paid for UPS shipping and the package was immediately sent to the US Post Office.
It could be UPS service with a USPS handoff. International shipping probably works best when USPS is used to go through customs. They might hand it back to UPS for delivery or not. I use USPS all the time for international, no issues.     
6LF: RCA/RCA or XLR/RCA. AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE? Really?
Long runs and more gain. Important if you need it otherwise the extra gain can cause audible noise, so not always a plus.   
The hunt is over
No tubes? It ain't over......  
Recommended Pre-Amps under 1k?
Stereophile had a nice review of the Topping Preamp. The PRE90 @$599.  
13 Cables ... A Horror Story
Get rid of all that stuff and move to a simple 2 channel rig.

Still have 4 ASL Hurricanes... A very well-respected amp. I don't think there is anything in them that can't be repaired with basic electronic parts, but I could be wrong.

Are those the ones made by Dennis Haad from Cary fame? You are thinking of Audio Electric Supply.   
Klipsch Heresy IV or Pi 3 with Primaluna Dialogue Premium?
I guess I can chime in. I have played my Heresy IIIs with my PrimaLuna integrated and a Velodyne sub. The PrimaLuna is a fine choice and can run a lot of different loudspeakers. No problem there. However, the Heresys are a pretty neutral and flat ... 
I'm confused - Different music...different speakers?
Most 60s and 70s rock albums were mixed down on big horn driven studio monitors. Play that stuff on JBL, Altec, or Bozac monitors and you’ll feel the vibe. A little Totem just ain’t going to do it, sorry. A JBL200 should do the trick.  
The pope's rig?
Pretty sure it's an original Marconi rig...  
Use of a super tweeter worth the investement ?
I put Super tweeters on my LS-50s. They were over the top and needed a good crossover but it moved the LS-50s to the next level.  
Soundstage depth how to improve? Shootout
It's loudspeakers and amp, you already have it figured out.
