cartridge recommendation
Check out Grado. They are all MI!https://www.needledoctor.com/analog/analog-components/Phono-Cartridges/brand/Grado-Labs 
New Technics turntables
You are better off with the 1200 GR. Why would you need auto-lift and built in phono stage if you don't need it? 
Older or Modern amp for older Speakers (NHT 3.3)
Check out the Odyssey Audio Khartago!http://www.odysseyaudio.com/products-khartago-stereo.html 
2 way vs 3 way question
They sure can. Proac, Spendor, Harbeth, etc. are a few good examples of outstanding two way designs that I am familiar with! 
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
I own Quicksilver amps for ten years and never a hiccup!   
Need help with two subs and external crossover....
This HSU works for me!http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/high-pass-filter.html 
BUY Bryston!!!!!
Add Quicksilver Audio to the list. I sent my phono preamp for a bad capacitor and it was fixed the same day it was received. There was no charge and it only cost me the shipping fee. BTW, I am not the original owner. Outstanding company! 
Integrated amp question.....around $1000..could use some help!
There is a Bryston B60 listed here for $765.00. That company has great customer service. You should make an offer on it! 
People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s....
What don’t you like about the 30.1 that you feel an upgrade is needed? I'm just curious! 
Buy 12ax7 tube
I prefer vintage GE circa 60’s and 70’s. You can pick them up at real good prices. The Sylvania Baldwin green label is another one of my favorite 12AX7 type tube! 
Connecting a sub which way to go
I prefer using the high pass option. I have tried both and I find that using the high pass give my mains a cleaner sound. Like the above post states,try both and let your ears you know which sounds better! 
Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ?
The last time I looked Pass amps are rated class A or class AB. Never seen them rated class A/AB! 
Budget phono stage under $100, cheap but refined, does it exist?
Check out this U-turn audio Pluto for $89.00.  It sure won't break the bank!https://uturnaudio.com/products/pluto-phono-preamp 
Yamaha turntable YP-211 question
That is fine!
