Rega RS-3
Sometimes I use 8 watt Eastern Electic MiniMax,sometimes a Sony ES Reciver(for FM) and usually a modded Dynaco PAS 3with a Van Alstine 260 EX .

Your Worst Audio Breakdown
An old Dynaco ST-35 blew up and destroyed my Linn Tukans.Boo-hoo. 
Reel to reel repair - is it worth it?
If there is a tie to your Dad,as you indicate, a few hundred bucks is nothing,even if they are your last ones .Better your last dime than a lifetime of regret.Been there,done that.

Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice
Why be without?Because you will be without your money spent FOREVER. 
Rega RS-3
No,I did not but had a buddy who switched to Chord Odysseyfrom them and said the Chord was better.I have the Chord too and the DNM is way better.I doubt there is any speaker that doesn't sound good with DNM.

Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7
I have to agree about Maggies and power,I thought my 1.6's were fine till a friend brought over a highly modded Hafler 500 that put out a measured 535 watts a side and showed me I had never really heard them.Said friend was a retired EE Professor ... 
Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi?
Unless the music is Bach,in which case the worthy is a totally objective factoid !!! 
Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7
True, sales are THE measure,thats how I know Michael Jacson is superior to J.S. Bach. 
Speaker recommendations for small space
I would forget the subwoffer and buy a pair of Rega RS3's.I had exactly your problen and they work wonderfully in a small space,VERY musical and easy to drive with a perfectlybeautiful full-range sound.The side fring woffers make placement so easy...
