No longer need 16' speaker cable pair- options?
Move your speakers closer together, have AP make to 8 ft pair and bi-wire. 
What does an electronics repair shop need to repair my Almarro 318B?
Should be a very simple circuit. Any competent tech should be able to fix in a day or two. BTW, I've owned the 205 and 318A -love these amps! BTW2 - It was I that suggested to the owner that he should put a headphone jack on the 205 (which he did)...

I like Cream's "Badge" or Blind Faith's "Sea of Joy". They both speak to me. 
the air dielectric
This was 15-20 years ago, Not sure Tara making them now. Cost in the 15K range. Vaccum  had to be refreshed every so often. Probably stopped making (for general public) due to PITA factor and lack of demand.  
the air dielectric
 @jaytor - Thanks for the correction. Though both are excellent dielectrics, it was sulfer hexafluoride I was thinking of. 
the air dielectric
Tara Labs using a vacuum dielectric. Nordost and Harmonic Technology use air. I'm waiting for someone to use sodium hexaflouride. This gas absolutely will not let electrons pass through it, is non-toxic and inexpensive. sounds worthy of interest.

Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system
If money not an object, I'd spend an equal amount on each component. Each speaker is considered a discreet component. And wire, as a group, is considered a component.Compromise (since few have unlimited money) on wire, amplification, room treatmen... 
“TAD” Tubes
I've never heard of "TAD" tubes. Could you possibly mean "E.A.T."? https://www.europeanaudioteam.com/  
How do you go about selling large speakers?
I go to my audio dealer and say "I'll take those. How much will you give me for my trade-in?". Then, the dealer picks up the old ones when he delivers the new. Simple!
