Best solid-state amp made anywhere
Well what about Goldmund Mimesis 29.4 as finest ss amp made in Switzerland....20 years ahead from the rest of toy makers..with exception of Pass,Jeff Rowland and Ayre... 
Whats the best Tube Preamp
For money CAT Ultimate...or ARC REF 2 no competition 
best integrated amp under $3500
Well C-J CAV-50 (2495) or ARC (35495) 
Rowland/ProAc 2.5 vs. Sonus Faber Amp/GP
I agree with Curio....Jeff Rowland try with Avalon,B&W or Audio Physics (Virgo) outperform 2.5 in every respect and they cost $ 5300...GOOD LUCK 
Krell, Rowland. Levinson, or Pass
From the choices above I 'd go with X-350 from Mr.Pass which I think by far is the best amp under 10K....if you can go above ..check out Jeff Rowland 8TI.......enjoy it 
Willl you spend over $5000.00 for speakers?
Yes,why not anything more is a waste, two best speakers for 5K are....Audio Physics Virgo and ProAc 2.5....... and this should give you your AUDIO NIRVANA........ PS. ProAc prefer tube stuff so stick with that..hint,hint HAPPY LISTENING
