VPI Scout with Grado Master - but what next?
Eight years?That stylus must be worn to the bone!The life span is about 2000 hours on a stylus,so try to estimate how many hours you have on it.You can damage your records with a worn stylus. 
Subsonic filter noise??
Harrison Labs have inline filters for about $30 a pair.Check out their site. Ebay has a listing with free shipping. Do a search for subsonic filters and it will come up!

Thanks Kr4,the ins/outs are preamp to amp not speaker.The sub without the highpass filter has no speaker option. 
Affordable "Thiel type" speakers are?
Rrog,Ditto on the Vandersteens. They sound nothing like Thiels! 
How can do you extend the life of your tubes?
Preamp tubes last for years,as a matter of fact I have antique radios that are over seventy years old with the original tubes and they are fine. Power amp tubes are more apt to wear out so I would not keep them on. Don't worry about it just enjoy it.

O.C.D. Speaker placement
O.C.D. is not your problem,D.L.S.is what you suffer from. ( don't like speakers).No medication will cure that. 
Where Can I Get Custom Made Foam for Speaker Box?
Why don't you just pack it real tight with bubble wrap or rolled up newspappers? What is your concern? If you pack tight speaker will not move.
