Dahlquist DQ 10 Stands
A dealer in Longmont Colo, Recycledaudio.com has a set of DQ10s for sale at 399.00. You may contact Josh and see if he has some available, he has quite a collection of audio "stuff". 
Best floorstanding speakers under $2000
My advice is get a plane ticket to Denver next Friday and spend some time at RMAF. Get a "ears on" demo and determine what works for you and your budget. 
Is 60dB gain enough for Kleos?
DavidNo step up transformer, just the Linto between my Kleos and LS26 and as mentioned it works fine together. 
Is 60dB gain enough for Kleos?
I am using my Kleos with a Linn Linto at 64db and it works fine. Could it have a little more gain? Yes, but I feel it is a good match, I just boost the volume a little more than I do for other sources, but I am never lacking. It is nice and quiet. 
Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa-"Don't Explain"
See! I told you was good. I have two and will buy more, Dust Bowl is on my heavy rotation list since I got it.Glad to hear you like him. 
Snapped off my cantilever
Why not just re-tip the Stradivari? Wouldn't that be least expensive and get you back to the sound you were really beginning to enjoy? 
How Is Bass Divided Among Speakers If No Sub?
As mentioned it will depend on the processor you have. But when you set your processor up and select large fronts and small rears I would say most of it goes to the fronts. 
Any experience with HRS Harmonic Resolution system
The only experience I have is my dealers racks. He has a couple of LP12's on the second floor of his home/store and I have noticed that the LP12's play flawlessly regardless of people walking back and forth, where as before the occasional skip occ...

Help me w/ small towers-bedroom HT/music system
If music isn't a top priority, I use Mirage Omni's in my bedroom. They don't form such a sweet spot and can delivery pretty good surround sound with a good sub.

I Like DVA-A Over SACD, ....and You?
I think it depends on the recording. I like both, but more SACDS since they offered more titles that I wanted. I will say this all DVD-A releases sound excellent and I have had a few SACD releases that probably sounded the same in redbook. 
MFSL moody blues: are they all so good?
I have all the Moody Blues MFSL on both CD and LP and have never been disappointed. They are expensive, and I had hoped that MFSL would someday re-do them as they did with the Little Feat-Waiting for Columbus LP. But that is probably just wishful ... 
How to restore faded veneer due to sunlight?
I can't think of any solution except as Jab suggests. You may before you completely strip them get a wood finish scraper and remove the varnish and apply a Watco type finish. The real proble you have is first: veneer is thin and you won't get many...
