Audio Solution Figero M Speakers
Nice speakers for sure.  I upgraded the crossovers in the larger L and the results were outstanding.  Your speakers have nice drivers and cabs, but they did skimp on the crossover parts.  All sand cast resistors and several electrolytic caps. You ... 
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
These Network Acoustics filters and cables are really the real deal. NA is much better known today compared to when they started just a couple of years ago! I started with their ENO, moved up the Muon and will soon go Pro! Every move up the line ... 
What amps are out there that are Class A, 50 wpc into 8 ohms?
Clayton Audio has a stereo amp I owned S40. It can put out 50 watts channel into 8:ohms with the more robust power supply upgrade.    
845 or 300b with Agalme?
Do you have pics of the internals to judge the damage if any? I think you need a good wood worker to make a new chassis. Put your amp in the new chassis made to fit your top plate and amp perfectly.

I repaired a Thoress Full Function Super Preamp. I don’t own a turntable so I did not listen to the phono section which is said to be very good. I did listen to the line stage in my second shop system only. Really just for post repair testing.    ...

Too sad. If you could have a nice matching wood chassis made I bet it would be pretty easy to get the amp going again. I doubt the internals are damaged much or beyond repair.  As long as the iron is good the amp can live again

@52tiger  The Monaco amp is very good and only time with the other amps mentioned, in your system, will determine if they are more engaging and enjoyable to you.  This passion is so very subjective.    
Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review
The TRL Dude! Oh yes what an awesome preamp. I know it like the back of my hand having built several and modified many. Big sound making many other preamps sound rather puny. Paul the designer is so missed.  His designs are special.    
845 or 300b with Agalme?
Both offer sonics at a much higher level than the Monaco. They cost a lot more however 😕. The Tron is several levels higher with the right speaker.  You have the right speaker. However, if you like a fleshy, muscular sound with gobs of body, the N...

@wvl    That is the essence of being fully engaged in your music. A system that touches your emotions is pure heaven! Good for you sir.   
Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review
@hchilcoat  Glad you are enjoying your system so much.  I listened to the WVL Sons again with the NAF 211 SE and NAF preamp.  Colin played some records on his killer turntable with this system and I was transfixed. Great combo indeed. Some of the...

Thoress gear is built all part to part wired like a work of art. I repaired a Thoress preamp/phono and was impressed with the build (shipping damage). Old school in the very best sort of way. I also heard the Horning Aristotle with the Tron 300b ...

@52tiger First off, your speakers are magnificent! I heard the smaller Horning Aristotle with the New Audio Frontiers Ultimate 211 SE amplifier and it was a religious experience for me. The combo was magnificent. I also heard the Wolf Von Langa ...

Nice work @nomorelandings !    What do you think of the sound quality? About the same or any changes?
