Where should I spend my $2000?
Locate the weak link(s) in your system. IMO the cables are the weak link. What power cords are being used? Have not heard Def Techs(any models)in over 10+ years but can only assume these should also be replaced. Selling the Rotel and both speakers... 
Best integrated up to $6000
Ghasley/Erasto-Unless someone is in financial distress a properly working ARC VSi 75 or VAC 160i cannot be found for <6k. I mentioned the MAC-MA2275 because this is the best tube int. I have heard at $4500 (retail when new). Mastersound(Italy) ...

IMO this list is derived from popularity(sales) and critics outdated reviews. When Bitches Brew/Headhunter and Heavy Weather are the 3 "token" fusion recordings and Kind of Blue at #1 tells me very little effort, time and thought was applied when ... 
Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga?...Gag Me?
Kb54-Spot on! Sometimes it's better to go out gracefully then languish with mediocre talent as a crutch. 
King Of contest...
