If you can use them how about buying some old Soviet Tubes being sold by a few Ukrainians, on eBay.

Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ??
Going along with the orginal question, how much difference is there between solid-state rectifier vs. tube rectifier in a tube amp when it comes to bass slam (quality).Thanks 
Wilco on Austin City Limits
The record that I have played more than any is Summerteeth with the late Jay Bennett. 
Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls?
I love some of the Klipsch Speakers (3 ways). I have a pair of highly modified Forte II that are great for what I use them for. Large room, high spl for progressive rock. I do not think they really shine in small rooms or at low sound levels, but ... 
Wilco on Austin City Limits
As someone a little older, I have grown to really enjoy Wilco. It did not happen the first couple of spins of their albums. They can write good music, Tweedy has a very unique soulful voice. Also their recordings sound very good ! 
Integrated recomendation for Quad 22l2
I owned a pair of 22L speakers. They do like power & current. I cannot recommend a integrated, as I used amp/preamp. I would stay at 150 watts or more unless your room is small and you do not listen at loud levels.

ADS L1290/2 Speakers
I would take a look at something from Odyssey Stratos line. Powerful affordable sturdy, for the price hard to do better. 
Prima Luna Prologue 2 vs Rotel RB-1572
Just offering my 2 cents as a general opinion. I owned a 200 watt Rotel, and while it had nice low end. It was rather harsh in the mids & hi frequency's. I do believe a Prima Luna would work great with the Klipsch and probably with the ADS. I ... 
step up from rotel?
I went from a Rotel RB990 BX to a Odyssey Stratos Plus.The midrange improved and the high frequency lost all the hardness it had with the Rotel. So yes, the change was well worth it ! 
Amplifier for Klipsch Cornwalls
I have Klipsch Forte II used for Classic Rock. I used them for some time with a Odyssey Stratos and a tube preamp. The sound was very good. I then bought a Baldwin Tube Amp here on Audiogon from Audiospec. The sound is much better, to my ears. Yes...
