Soliloquy replacement parts
I think Dave Berman, former President of Soliloquy, posted here a while back that he has some parts so you might try getting in touch with him. 
Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help
Given what you said you're looking for I'd think an integrated from Hegel, Ayre, Pass Labs, or Plinius among others would be a large step forward in all those areas you listed. Of those I only see a Hegel H200 currently available in your price ran... 
RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss
I recall a while back that people were waiting quite a while for their Vapor speakers? Could be confusing them with someone else (Evolution Acoustics maybe?) and not sure if that's still the case, but if so it may just be the speakers were initial... 
Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help
Some very good suggestions above, but recommendations would be much more targeted and meaningful if you told us what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you and/or what you would like to improve upon. 
Pre + Amplifier Recommendation
If changing speakers is on your radar now or in the near future -- and it appears it is -- just do that first. You know why. Best of luck. 
Power Cord Wall to Conditioner
Triode Wire Labs PCs also get nice reviews and have a good trial period. Best of luck. 
Tube Friendly High End "Big" speakers
Assuming you'll be buying a tube amp suitable to drive whatever speaker you ultimately choose, given your stated preferences I'd consider the Joseph Audio Pearl 3 or one of the larger Verity Audio models. Also like the Crescendo recommendation. If...

Got big amp-help with 20A line and receptacle
With some help from fellow 'goners I had a couple dedicated lines installed a few years ago. Here are some of the important tips I got and follwed:- if running multiple lines, run the lines on the same leg to avoid ground loops. - Do not have line... 
Upgrade on Bel Canto CD-1
If it's just the upper mids that are bothersome and you're otherwise happy with what you're hearing, another way to go that may work and potentially be much cheaper would be to try some other cables and interconnects. Nordost are great to be sure,... 
Looking for bookshelf speakers
Yeah, this is starting to look like a fly by. 
midground btwn Dynaudio X38 and Vandersteen Treo
Well, strictly speaking none of these speakers are full range and most only go down to the low or mid 30s. That said, given your impressions I think a pair of Joseph Audio RM25XLs might be in that sweet spot you're looking for. Nicely detailed but... 
Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers.
Congrats. Nice choice. Keep us posted after they're broken in.

Recommendation on speakers with bass adjustibility
In addition to the PARC that operates in the analog domain there are products from DSpeaker and DEQX that operate in the digital domain and get very good reviews so may be worth looking into as well. Just FYI.
