Which Amp to complete my system?
I have a Mac 2205 to drive my La Scala's, but the best sound came from a H.H. Scott model 222 tube amp that I had restored! Not a lot of power, but then again you really don't need it due to speaker efficiency.  
Amp Repair Grade: F
Audio Classics are #1 in my book! Helped me with parts and advice on my 2205 that had freight damage! Worked out great! 
Inherited 21 piece of vintage McIntosh and need help building a system
Audio classics! Give them a call!  They are awesome to work with as the other folks on here said. 
Journey ending speakers
Klispch LA Scala's do it for me! I also have B&W and a pair of Magnapans, Klispch is still my go to pair of speakers!  
Amplification question - PrimaLuna Tubes vs. McIntosh Solid State
Have both, love both! Tubes have a warmer sound but both sound great! 
speakers
Klipsch k horns or LA Scalas. Maggie are awesome when warmed up! These can be a little less expensive than B&W 801's!

Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money?
Klispch Herresy and a pair of LA Scalas! The Herresy's started me and The LA Scala's stole my heart for the price! With H.H. Scott 222 tube amp, the LA Scalas sound amazing!  
Warm-up time for amps and preamps
My system takes 30 to 45 Minutes to sound great!  
Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock?
Find a pair of Klispch LA Scalas, you will not be disappointed! Kinda  large but very efficient ! They are clear and precise! 
Your first component that was "special"
H.H. Scott 222 tube amp with a pair of JBL L 40s! Used a Technics tuner and I bought the amp missing a tube. After a quick replacement was found, I fell for the tube sound! That was 35 years ago! 
Upsetting story looking for a solution
Are you sure Grandma had nothing to do with this? I know my wife is not that thrilled about my audiophile equipment, but hopefully not to point of destruction! $$$$$$$ 
Speaker Recommendation Needed
You might look for a pair of Klispch Herresy speakers! Very efficient and sound great! Just my opinion!
