Dynavector XV-1S ---is it overkill for my system?
I'd go with a high output Benz cartridge and dump the headamp altogether. 
Von Schweikert VR2 or Revel Performa F50
Revel by far 
B&W 803 Nautilus or Paradigm Studio 100 v.5?
I am not a fan of B&W speakers. Having said that, you really must audition your speaker of interest to see if you can live with it. I would listen to every speaker I could at your price point, a little above, and a little below. If you select ... 
Speaker cable thoughts
I have Ayre and am using Anti-Cables with great results. There are some for sale at Audiogon classified. 
SDS speed control

Phonostage
I'm using the LPS with an Ayre with no complaints 
Advice on new cables
Why would you think that your cables are limitation?? I think your speakers and amp are suspicious. 
mbl - is there a problem?
I don't like MBL either.... I've heard a few of their models a few times, and they never sounded like real music in real time..... A friend has them with their amps and preamp...sounds too hifi for me. If I loved them I wouldn't buy them...how do ... 
Question About NORDOST cables
Why not risk nothing and try Anti-Cables. If they don't work, they can be sent back. I think you will like them.
