best towers for $3000 ?
PSB platinum T-6 can be had for less as close-out will bury the synchrony-2. Close to synchrony-1. 
Help buying fullrange speakers for $1500
PSB gold stratus used are less than $1000. 
Nait XS with Magneplanar 1.6?
Nait XS punches above weight class but to get the best out of maggies you need more power. At least a nap 250 if staying with Naim. 
upgrade from Paradigm Studio 20s?
PSB, Focal, Neat, Guru, Proac, Harbeth 
SS Amp Preference for DeVore Fidelity Silverbacks
Naim amps with DeVore speakers are highly regarded on Naim board. 
Change from PSB Stratus Gold i
I upgraded to a PSB platinum t-6 which I thought were close to the Synchrony and were much cheaper. Synchrony is a big improvement over the stratus gold i but platinum t-8 are better still if you have a big room. 
Confidence c1 vs cremona auditor m vs proac d28
Ci has good synergy with Naim electronics. 
high end speakers? ... not sure what brands/model
your amp and speakers are better than 90% of consumers gear. Achieving sonic bliss will be expensive as you chase that elusive 10%. If you are happy leave it alone if not audition better gear but be prepared to pay. 
Lost Help Amp for PSB imagine T
The NAD is designed to work with the PSB speakers. Naim also works well from my past experience. Speakers are fairly sensative so anything with 30 clean watts will be ok in small to medium room. 
PSB Synchrony One with Cayin A-88t
major upgrade if your amp is up to it. 
Entry level CDP
Planet is very good. check out Naim cd for comparable performance. 
Best new or used speakers for under 3K?
PSB platinum T-6 are comparable to synchrony and are at close out prices. 
Wilsons sound OK and other revelations from Sea.
great review! 
Top of the line old technology VS Newer technology
Goldmund equipment is top quality and you would have to spend more than 2k to better it today. imo. 
long term components
Naim Nap 250 amp, 15 years.
