Listen to your system both ways, then decide which sounds best to you. 
Tube amp sitting unused for a long time
This is a very nice amp and should NOT be turned on without a variac. I had one, enjoyed it very much and is worth having a tech go though it. A parts unit recently sold on eBay for $250.00 and a nice one $995.00. I suggest you buy it and contact ... 
Inexpensive speaker cables
I second "Nonoise" recommendation of Zu & Supra speaker cables. I made myself a pair of SUPRA Ply 3.4 speaker cables and they sound very good. Both are available via eBay.

Speakers VERY close to wall - Cork board useful?
I agree with soix about (the clue) speakers. I have a pair and they sound great. It does take time and effort to get them set up correctly, however once they are dialed in they are amazing and sound excellent in small rooms too.

I agree with the OP and suggest the "Classified" ad section be for private party ads and create another section for dealer & manufacture use or install a filter system like craigslist has.
