want to hook up 2 spkrs for each left and right.
If thats the case then run them in series and the volume will be the same on all. No worry about damage of amp. Just remember that the power will be less so try it and see if it is sufficient. 
Sudden Loud Buzz on my Tube Amp
What about the EL84 tubes? Have you replaced them?

Wiring speakers in series is the safer way not parallel. If wired in series it would double the impedance.If wired parallel it would cut it in half. 
Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used
Spendor 3/5's is what you are looking for! They go for about $700 used. 
Harbeth Speakers
I also do not understand what you mean. Since you have both why don't you try them and see which combo you like better. 
Volume?
Tuners are also higher output just like CD'S (2 volts).So what you have is normal. 
Grado Sonata, Signature 8MZ, Shure V15VXMR
Limono,where do you get that incorrect information from? Grado's do not match well with heavy arms and load is not a factor with Grado's. Why would you add a step up transformer to a mm cartridge? I use my Grado's with a SME 309 medium mass arm an... 
Harbeth Speakers
I can't comment on the 2's,but all I can say is that I have the 3's and they better any monitor I have owned(Spendor,Kef,etc).As far as overkill,what do you mean? I use mine with Quicksilver tube mono's. 
Speakers that can be placed close to the back wall
Harbeth P3ESR or Spendor 3/5. Had both and no problem. They are both sealed! 
Loss of bass & full spectrum sound
How do you know that the cable is not defective?How do you know the binding posts on your amp are not defective? I would try some inexpensive speaker wire like zip cord in place of the Audioquest and see how that works. You will solve this problem... 
Loss of bass & full spectrum sound
Did your speakers come with straps to connect the woofer and tweeter posts if you did not want to biwire? If they did just reinstall them,if not just use a small piece of wire and connect them together. Remember positive to positive and negative t... 
Loss of bass & full spectrum sound
Sounds like something is wrong with the biwire cable. If you can bypass it give that a try! It might open up when warmed up. 
So what's a good preamp?
Check out the E.A.R. 834P. A few are listed here. 
Audio Research LS3B or Classé Model Five
Keep the Class'e. Years ago I had the model four and my friend had Audio Research SP9. After comparing both he sold the Audio Research and bought a Class'e. I can't comment on the LS3B but it probably has the same house sound as the others in that... 
Accurate human voice reproduction
Harbeth P3ESR is voiced for the human voice! No other speaker I have owned comes close!
