Try the Bryston or Mcintosh amps. 
Which is better Coax or Optical cables
I have the Tellurium Q Black Digital coax cable, astonishing sound : natural ,transparent and spacious soundstage. The downside, it’s a revealing cable that immediately will expose bad recordings and weaknesses in your system.After buying it I not... 
Proac Response D 48/Tannoy Kensington
I don't think the comparison between the Proac and Vandersteen is relevant this are two totally different speakers for different purposes, While the Proac is for medium size room and modest amplification can be enuog the Vanderstten are for bigger... 
Proac Response D 48/Tannoy Kensington

My Review: Rotel RA1570 vs Rotel RA1592 Integrated Amplifiers, side by side.
I would agree Rotel for secondary system should be fine. 
My Review: Rotel RA1570 vs Rotel RA1592 Integrated Amplifiers, side by side.
Until a year ago I had the Rotel RB 1582 power amp (rated 200 W output power)and the RC 1580 (their top of the line pre back then) , I thought it was impressive and powerful combination until I upgraded to the McIntosh D100 pre/dac and MC152 power...

The PSB , Proac and Revel are much better than the Focals I heard them once nice speakers but not enough interesting to listen for long term. 
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
I currently own the Proac 140 MK2 , I heard the 148 and was impressed by their excellent dynamics and bass. The PSB ,Dynaudio and especially the Revel you mentioned are good options too ,However if you can stretch your budget for really thrilling ...
