Jimbo, yes I do think that the Teres would be a good option for you, but not just because I have one. I bought one for the same reasons that I recommend it to others. It's a damn good TT.
If you want to go the speaker route, and you like the Maggies, then go up to the true ribbon series. You'll probably need some more juice from the amp then as well. That can get pretty expensive too. I don't know too much about the Martin-Logans, but if you like a hybrid, the Newform 645 Ribbon Speakers are pretty interesting. I haven't heard them personally, but I've talked to a few people who owned them and they liked them alot, and said that they were really good for the money($2500). It's a 48" ribbon above a pair of woofers in a tower configuration. Also the Manger is pretty interesting. It's a bending-wave driver that sounds alot like E-stats, and they need a woofer below 80Hz. Expensive though($5k). Just a couple of thoughts for you.
