Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under
You'd surely be missing out (and so do a lot of audiophiles in the US unfortunately) if you did not try to find out about the XTZ Divine Alpha. Lower priced than your budget, but easily competes with many many $20K speakers out there. Just beautif... 
Looking for a warm sweet speaker
Without any possible doubt in your budget: XTZ Divine AlphaNot sure if you can get them in the US... check it out.Or the Tannoy Legacy Arden 
Beware the audio guru
This is very well written and fully agreed upon. With thanks! 
Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018
it's all good to excellent stuff and not exhaustive... I second the suggestion to add the ASR! I would put the McIntosh at the bottom of the list without any doubt, and the Audionet, Gryphon, Pass, CH, Soulution, Boulder, Dartzeel at the top, and ... 
New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000
when you compare them to amps bigger in size, say Gryphon Mephisto and Pass Xs300, you see that it weighs still more than them. Why? Knowing as well that the two competitors are full classA amps operating at very high bias and that the Relentless ... 
single driver speakers
They can do a hell of a good job due to:- much stronger magnets, especially when field coil- efficiency of driver...moves much faster and is so able to provide all needed frequencies while the other very important advantage is pin point imaging, b... 
Speaker recomendation
Igoler,I would also suggest Tannoy Prestige speakers as already suggested here, but i dont think it fits your budget. You may otherwise want to consider the new Legacy series with the Arden, bearing a full range DC driver of 15" that will produce ... 
Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used

Tannoy Legacy Arden; they'll rock, sing, swing, trumpetize, energize, dynamize, precise image, huge soundstage at same time, lively, extremely musical speakers, doing it all well distortion free very loud or of course also very softly, and they li... 
Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room
for that room size I'd definitely go for bookshelves, rather big and high performing ones, with relatively small drivers that are fast so they dont pollute, and that can be adapted, tuned to your room and/or liking using back switch and bass plugs... 
First Watt vs McIntosh vs Ampzilla
I'd find out if any Pass XA30.8 available around you. You'd have everything and more for these Zu... 
MAKING THE JUMP ... From Inherited Speakers to the right choice < 2K Price
and here is the link to the XTZ. They are bluffing and highly performing speakers, if you have access, give them a listen. There is a return policy usually at XTZ. https://www.xtzsound.eu/product/99-36-flr  
MAKING THE JUMP ... From Inherited Speakers to the right choice < 2K Price
your three options seem very good with the amps you have. I would add to it the XTZ 99.36 which has it all (not sure where you are and if you can get them easily); balance, power, big firm bass, details etc. With the Luxman I would favor these or ...
