Best Integrated for Martin Logan ESL 13A
don’t overlook the Mark Levinson 585 integrated. just read about it and hopefully listen to one. at used prices it’s an outstanding high end value. 
Upgrading to Duo 300 XD Stereo Amplifier and Illusion Preamplifier from Krell Evo
My advice which I never seem to take is to keep and enjoy what you have. Your current amp and preamp are outstanding Krell products with beautiful build and sonics. If you’re satisfied now you might end up unhappy with the contemplated change whic... 
Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp
Wow. Just saw two se’s listed for $5100 and lower. Incredible value. IMO 
Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp
Very surprised that the fabulous Audio Research Ref 75 or the se version hasn’t come up. They can be had for $6500(se) downwards. A truly great mid power tube amp that’s a classic. Check out the many A+ reviews.

Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium
with the top end of your budget i’d work hard to find a dealer to get to that 30k on a pair of Wilson DAW’s. You’ll be making a mistake to not consider Wilson given your budget. Yvette’s extremely good as well as i mentioned earlier.

bo1972...you are unbearably arrogant for no discernible reason. humility is something you might try if you want people to listen to you.i cannot imagine a worse experience than auditioning gear with you.
