What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities?
I own Tannoy and appreciate the tonal qualities. I am assuming you've ruled out Electrostatics?The Devore, AudioNote and Harbeth are three that might work for you.Please let us know the final outcome! 
Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget.
I wonder if a used Merrill Int with the new transistor could be hadat $10k or under? If not I'd Pass. The INT25 would run your Scalas. 
Will a tube amp work well on Revel f208?
You are keeping the speakers so match them with the power they need.Although the other side is you listen at low levels. Like 60-70db I am guessing. FYI get the free phone app which read db levels.I am guessing you budget at $8k max?I sold my tube... 
Does Bluesound have a new product launch coming?
Puffboy wanted some insider info that makers conceal to maintain sales.A semantics or grammar retort was not called for. Remember Bambi'smother's useful counsel: "If you don't have anything nice (useful) to say keep your F-ing mouth closed". Okay ... 
Speaker Audition

What should be my next speaker - the never ending question
Suggesting speakers for someone is a bit like me saying "Hey marrythis woman. I like her" ! 
Integrated Tube Amp Demo
You have some solid names. I think the Line Magnetic line has dealerswho would agree to a trial of some sort. I tend to agree with soix re your tube choice unless new speakers are in the future. Maybe a hybrid ? 
Is it my amp or my speakers?
I skipped over the other suggestions so if someone said this already please ignore this. $3k to spend. Used okay? If not you just cut yourperformance in half. Know nothing of your CD player. I would buy a Cambridge Audio Integrated. Or a ChiFi Tub...
