what is the best amp you've ever heard
KR Kronzilla. 
VAC 160i, any experiences
The key to VACs is their Lundahl output transformers. None better. 
Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier
Notes it's a nice piece but it should cost no more than $5k. 
Does Mc Intosh make reference gear
Their MC2301 tube amp is a reference piece by any standard, but that's the only model I would put in that class. 
KEF LS50 Integrated recommendation
I'd use a Vincent hybrid with LS50s. 
Best Towers Under $1500 for beginner system
Very tough to beat the PSB GT1s on sale at Saturday Audio. I've been at the hi-end audio game as a consumer and pro since 1969. These speakers are tremendous performers mated to a good 100w/ch amp. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Brentworth Type IVs driven by Jadis JA200s.
